While Everton and Lille now must agree to a fee, it’s been reported that Lille are close to accepting a bid of around €30m.

It’s also believed that Gabriel has already completed an off-site medical, the 22-year-old still must consider other reported offers from Leicester City and PSG.

Gabriel has emerged as Lille’s first-choice centre-back, making 34 of his 52 career first-team appearances for Ligue 1’s fourth-placed side this season.
