Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the North West of England today for the first part of his Everton medical, according to The Athletic journalist Patrick Boyland.
Everton are expected to pay £25 million for the former Leicester City star as they look to bolster their midfield options at the Hill Dickinson Stadium club.
The 26-year-old would become their fifth summer signing following earlier deals for Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou.

Dewsbury-Hall will be a direct replacement for Abdoulaye Doucoure, who left the Toffees at the end of last season after both parties could not agree to terms of an extension.
Everton were also hoping to seal a deal for Southampton attacker Tyler Dibling, but the Saints want a total package worth £50m and a 25 percent sell-on clause to sell the 19-year-old.
It seems both clubs are not ready to reach a compromise over a fee, and the Merseyside club are moving on to other targets in the position.
Toffees manager David Moyes wants at least five more players after Dewsbury-Hall joins, and the owners – The Friedkin Group (TFG) – are ready to back him in the transfer market.
