Reports in Spain claimed Atletico Madrid were ready to hijack Everton's move for the Malaga forward.

But Sky Sports presenter Jim White says Sandro has signed for the Toffees on a five-year-deal and it's claimed the Spanish Under-21 international will wear the number nine shirt.

Last season Sandro scored 14 La Liga goals.

When made official by Everton, Sandro will become their fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen and Henry Onyekuru.
