Everton to announce Sam Byram signing
Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli took to Twitter to say
that the deal will be announced tomorrow.
The Toffees are reportedly poised to announce a deal worth an
initial £3m for the wide man who is out of contract in the summer.
Giulianelli tweeted: "Sam Byram has just passed medicals
with Everton in the last hour. Signed a contract 3 years."Byram to Everton
will be announced tomorrow."
Leeds' Italian owner Massimo Cellino has tried and failed to get
Byram to commit to a new contract at Elland Road.
He has spoken of his frustration at Byram's reluctance to stay
and admitted that he now just wants to sell the 22-year-old and move on.
Last week he said: "We just want to sell Byram because he
wants to leave.
“It is better to lose him now. It is less painful for the club.”
Leeds would have been due compensation if Bryam had left on a
free in the summer as he graduated through their academy.
But Everton look to have swept in and decided to take advantage
of Leeds' desire to cash in and get the deal done now.
