Everton are confident signing Wolves defender Conor Coady.
The Scouser, a former Liverpool player, is a top target for Everton boss Frank Lampard.
The Daily Mail says the Toffees believe they have beaten West Ham to the signature of the 29-year-old, who wants to leave Molineux for a guarantee of first-team football. An initial fee of around £12million plus add-ons has been mooted.
Coady has found himself down the pecking order at Wolves after the arrival of £20m Nathan Collins, who started alongside Max Kilman at Elland Road.
However, the defender has broken into the England squad over the past 12 months.
