Everton Midfielder Idrissa Gueye has completed medical with PSG and move will be announced on £30m deal
He was in Senegal on holiday after the African Cup of Nations when he jetted to France over the weekend to seal his move.
Marco Silva has already signed one senior midfielder at Goodison, Manchester City and England's Fabian Delph, and may look for another now that Gueye's departure is close to being confirmed.
Everton have been linked with Chelsea's out-of-favour Timoue Bakayoko who plays in a similar position to Gueye, and reportedly shown interest in forwards Moise Kean of Juventus and Wilfried Zaha.
Gueye was a popular figure at Goodison after signing from Aston Villa in 2016 but found the incentive of playing alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the Champions League too tempting.
Though reluctant to sell, Everton didn't want to stand in the player's way once PSG had made an acceptable offer.
Gueye, who started his career with Lille, scored four goals in 108 appearances for The Toffees.
Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye has completed his £30million move to PSG with the deal due to be formally be announced on Tuesday.
Gueye, 29, completed his medical and settled personal terms in the French capital on Monday and will now briefly return to his home country of Senegal before coming back to England to say his farewells.
A senior French source confirmed on Monday night: 'It's all done and will be announced on Tuesday.'
