Everton agree first transfer in principle?
Everton are closing in on their first transfer for next season with Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto accepting a transfer according to various reports in Spain and England.
Fichajes.net in Spain and the Metro in England believe that Roberto has already been told he can leave the Nou Camp in the summer and they are reporting that he has already agreed a deal with the toffees in principle.
According to the report in Spain, Everton tried to sign the midfielder last season but were thwarted in their efforts by the Catalans who wanted the 23 year playmaker in their squad. Things haven’t worked out as planned though and Roberto has rarely featured for Barca.
Stoke City and Spurs have also been linked with the energetic midfielder who has made a total of 10 starts for the Spanish giants this season.
Would Sergi Roberto be a decent signin?
