A report claims that Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay will join Everton on a permanent deal at the start of next month.

Everton are reportedly close to agreeing a deal for Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay.

Memphis, 22, joined Man United from PSV Eindhoven in 2015, but largely struggled to impress during his first season at Old Trafford, managing just two goals in 29 Premier League appearances.

The Netherlands international has also struggled for first-team football under Jose Mourinho this term and it is widely thought that the attacker will move on in the January transfer window.

It had been claimed that Memphis would only be allowed to leave Old Trafford on an initial loan deal, but according to Manchester Evening News, Everton are close to agreeing a permanent transfer with Man United.

Out-of-favour midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is also expected to follow current Man United teammate Memphis to Goodison Park when the winter window opens for business next month.
