Everton have agreed a deal in principle with Olympique Lyonnais for the transfer of centre back Jake O’Brien. This potential acquisition marks a strategic effort by Everton to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.

The agreement between Everton and OL outlines that Jake O’Brien will undergo a medical examination tomorrow, contingent upon the successful negotiation of personal terms. Should everything proceed smoothly, O’Brien is set to sign a five-year contract with the Premier League club.
