Everton are close to completing the signing of Wolves and England defender Conor Coady, according to the Daily Mail.
Coady was dropped by Wolves manager Bruno Lage during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Leeds as Max Kilman was paired with Nathan Collins in a four-man defence.
It was the first time that the 29-year-old has been left out by choice in Wolves shirt since April 2017.
Everton have beaten West Ham to his signature, with Coady wanting to leave Molineux for a guarantee of first-team football ahead of the Qatar World Cup.
Everton’s need for a centre-back intensified after opening-day injuries to Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina.
Godfrey has suffered a fractured fibula with Mina has an ankle issue. It is understood the initial fee for Coady around £12m plus add-ons.
