Get ready for it, Gerard Deulofeu is primed to become this season’s “imminent” new Everton signing, rekindling memories of the famous “within 48 hours” line from transfer windows gone by.

Rumours are circulating that Gerard Deulofeu could sign for Everton “by Friday” after several Twitter accounts posted that a first team player had told them directly that the Spaniard was set to sign.

The Liverpool Echo has also run with the story – quoting Twitter as it’s source – which has led many Evertonians to believe that we could be about to see the return of the latest best little Spaniard we know.

Deulofeu enjoyed a season-long loan at Everton in the 2013-14 season, scoring important as well as spectacular goals as the Blues charged to fifth in the league.

Now, if rumours are to be believed, he could be about to rejoin the Blues from Barcelona on a permanent basis.
