Everton are poised to sign Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United, and make him the first signing of the Frank Lampard era, after the Dutch midfielder decided he prefers a move to Goodison Park rather than to Crystal Palace.
Everton are ready to pay Van de Beek’s full salary until the end of the season after he was identified by Lampard – who is expected to be confirmed as the club’s manager on Sunday – as a priority target. Crystal Palace offered to pay 85% of the player’s salary.
