Ashley Young is due for a medical at Everton on Tuesday with a view to joining as a free agent after leaving Aston Villa. The 38-year-old is in line to become Sean Dyche’s first signing since the manager took over in January.
Young started 23 games for Villa last season but has been released after two years there. He has played 17 consecutive seasons of top-flight football since winning promotion from the Championship with Watford in 2006, his time in the Premier League broken by a spell with Internazionale.
