The 29-year-old joined Everton from Aston Villa for around £7m in 2016 and is reported to be set to leave for a fee of over £25m.

Gueye has made 108 appearances for the Toffees in all competitions.

He was pictured in Paris on Sunday and is expected to have a medical on Monday.

He would be the second high-profile exit from Goodison Park in a week following the sale of winger Ademola Lookman to RB Leipzig.

Manager Marco Silva has signed midfielders Andre Gomes and Fabian Delph, as well as goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, but has said he hopes to recruit in another five positions before the transfer deadline on 8 August.

Silva is currently being linked with Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha and Juventus' Moise Kean.

Will Everton miss Gueye?

• No player in the Premier League attempted more tackles than Gueye last season. He won 89 of his 142 tackles.
• Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi also attempted 142 tackles and won 99, but he played five more league games.
• Gueye therefore won more tackles per game (2.7) than any player in the Premier League.
• Gueye completed 75 interceptions in his 33 league games, the sixth-highest in the Premier League.
