Moussa Sissoko's departure from Newcastle is mercifully coming to fruition.

Sky Sports reports that the Frenchman is on his way to Goodison Park, with Everton set to pay £30 million to sign the 27-year-old, beating a host of sides across Europe to the signature of the Euro 2016 standout.

Tottenham was reportedly interested in bringing the versatile Sissoko to White Hart Lane, but Spurs were apparently unwilling to meet the hefty £30-million valuation.

The likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter, and West Brom were all thought to be tracking the midfielder at various points in the window.

Everton, who already splashed on Yannick Bolasie earlier this summer - and also bolstered its midfield by signing Idrissa Gueye - now has ample options in support of main man Romelu Lukaku.
