Everton are hopeful of completing the signing of Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto, according to reports.

The Toffees have tried to sign technical central midfielder Roberto for the last two years but the player has always decided to fight for his place at Barca instead of moving.

However, facing another season on the bench at the Nou Camp, Sport says Everton are making a new approach and are hopeful of finally doing business.

The main issue to a deal is Barca’s refusal to sell players whilst under their transfer embargo, but a suitable offer should change their minds.


Roberto, who was linked with Arsenal in the past, has been compared to Cesc Fabregas because of his ability to pick out passes and run the midfield.
