Cash-strapped Everton Set To Sign Aston Villa Midfielder In Shock £10m Transfer After Takeover Boost

ASTON VILLA midfielder Tim Iroegbunam is set to join Everton in a £10million deal.

The 20-year-old Englishman was on the fringe of Unai Emery’s side last season and wants more game time.

Villa have beaten a number of Prem clubs to the free signing of centre-back Ethan Amundsen-Day, 19, from FC Copenhagen.

The Norway youth international has an English father and was born in Leeds.

With Amundsen-Day set to arrive at Villa Park, Iroegbunam has been given the green light to leave.

He is on the verge of moving to Everton in what could be a turbulent summer for the Toffees.

It left Everton in danger of going into administration amid soaring debts.

Friedkin, worth £4.8billion, has beaten off an offer by Vici Private Finance in the battle to become the new Everton owner.

However, some fans could be left underwhelmed with the new chief.

A member of his Friedkin Group previously described Everton as the “second club” in Liverpool.

Friedkin himself also said after buying Roma in 2020 that the Serie A club would “always be the jewel” in his football crown.
