Everton agree deal to sign coveted French striker M'Baye Niang

Everton have reportedly agreed a deal to sign young French striker M'Baye Niang for a fee in the region of £3.5m.

The Caen forward has been courted by a host of European clubs including Arsenal and AC Milan during the close season, even spending time on trial with the Gunners earlier this summer.

The French youth international has trained with the Toffees and David Moyes is now expected to agree terms on a transfer, according to The Sun.

Moyes has been active in the transfer window, bringing Steven Naismith, Steven Pienaar and Kevin Mirallas to Goodison Park.
