Everton have reached an agreement in principle with Villarreal to sign striker Thierno Barry, talkSPORT understands.
The 22-year-old forward has a £34m release clause, but Everton have been able to negotiate a lower fixed payment in the region of £28m.
Barry scored 11 LaLiga goals last seasonGetty Calvert-Lewin scored 71 goals in 274 games for Everton during his nine-year spellGettyAdd-ons could take the total package closer to £35m, and are believed to be largely individual performance related.
Barry scored 11 LaLiga goals last season and featured for France at the Under-21 European Championship this summer in Slovakia.
He will be seen as a replacement for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the 28-year-old leaving the Toffees on a free transfer.
Everton are still in the market for other versatile attackers, with a particular focus on wingers.
Jack Grealish remains an option, but only if Manchester City sanction a loan. Liverpool’s Ben Doak is another winger Everton admire.
A combative midfielder is also possible. Newcastle’s Sean Longstaff and Leicester City’s Wilfried Ndidi have been discussed.
And fresh consideration has been given to Genoa’s Morten Frendrup, who is being tracked by West Ham and available this summer for around €25m.
Tomas Soucek has also been linked, largely due to David Moyes relying on him at West Ham, but Everton are yet to make any approach to either the player or the Hammers.

Talks have taken place with Kyle Walker, who is free to leave Manchester City despite having a year left on his current contract.

Kyle Walker-Peters has been discussed internally as well and is currently a free agent after leaving Southampton.
It is unclear yet whether Everton will make an approach or offer to the player.
Everton have also been boosted by centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite signing a new five-year contract and thus ending summer speculation over a switch away.
Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane, who are both free agents as it stands, are also expected to finalise new extensions this week.
