Everton could come face-to-face with one of their reported January transfer targets on Saturday after Danny Ings agreed a permanent switch to West Ham United.
The 30-year-old former Liverpool forward has scored six Premier League goals for Aston Villa this season but is now set to join up with ex-Blues boss David Moyes in East London after a £15m deal was confirmed by Sky Sports.
Everton had been linked with a move for Ings earlier in the month, with reports suggesting they had approached Villa regarding a possible loan move but were turned down.
