If he joins Everton, it will be for a nominal fee.
The Toffees have already signed Brennan Johnson, Christian Norgaard, Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl this summer.
Johnson became the latest addition on Tuesday after completing a transfer from Crystal Palace which saw Dwight McNeil move to Selhurst Park.
The Welsh midfielder said: “I’m so excited to be here. The Club speaks for itself – it’s a massive club and one that when I first heard of the interest, I immediately wanted to come and be part of it.

“There were a lot of reasons why I was so keen to join – the manager, the players, the direction the team is going in. You can see this is a club that wants to go in the right direction, and I’m a player who wants to go in that direction, too, so it feels like a really good match.
“I want to come in and show what I can do. The manager spoke to me about getting back to the form that I’ve shown previously, and that’s a massive thing for me – the fact he knows and believes in what I can do. For me, listening to him – a manager who is so experienced and someone who has been so successful – it was really nice to hear.
“I want to bring all of my attributes. First and foremost, I’ll work for the team, the fans, and represent the Club properly.
“I know that’s something that’s definitely appreciated and a non-negotiable here. They can expect that from me. On top of that, I think I can bring speed, goals and everything I’ve got.
“The incredible fanbase that Everton has, whether it’s home or away, is something I’ve always felt. It’s a massive honour to be here and play for them now.”
