Lifelong Liverpool fan Conor Coady is on the verge of joining Everton. No longer assured of his place in the Wolves lineup following their acquisition of Nathan Collins from Burnley, the popular Scouser is wanted by Frank Lampard now that Ben Godfrey has been sidelined indefinitely with a broken ankle. Godfrey picked up the injury during Everton’s opening-day defeat at the hands of Chelsea, a match in which his injury-prone fellow central defender Yerry Mina also pulled up lame.
Everton expect to complete a loan deal with an option to buy the 29-year-old England international once personal terms have been agreed. Spotted in the directors’ box at Goodison Park on Saturday, Lille midfielder Amadou Onana is also expected to be unveiled as an Everton player on Monday.
