Everton have reached an agreement with West Bromwich Albion for winger Tom Fellows according to a report.
The Baggies’ academy product has been a star in recent times for the club after a breakout season at Crawley Town two years ago.
Fee Agreed
According to Alan Nixon via his Patreon page, Everton have reached an agreement with West Brom for Fellows in the region of £10 million, but are yet to reach personal terms with the 21-year-old however is set to head to Merseyside for a medical.
The Toffees are in a relegation battle and have lost both Dwight McNeil and striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to injury once more, meaning there are vacancies in the front line. Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison has struggled for game time under David Moyes and is set to leave at the end of this campaign.
It is not the only move Everton are targeting in the area after working on a deal for Flamengo’s attacking midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, which is expected to be completed in the near future.

It feels like an odd decision to release Tom Fellows in the middle of the season, especially if it isn’t the player pushing for the deal like in this instance. West Brom look set to be losing one key player in Alex Palmer this window and losing yet another key asset, let alone a homegrown talent feels like it has some potential to derail their season. With the fee they look set to get, they should try and hijack a move for Kasey McAteer, with the Irish international being pursued by Sunderland and having a £10 million bid rejected by Leicester City.
