Van de Beek had been linked with moves to Crystal Palace and Newcastle United this window, however, it appears that a move to Goodison Park appears to be on the cards.

Van de Beek reportedly turned down a move to the north east because of Newcastle’s perilous position in the Premier League table.

The Dutchman could make his league debut for the Toffees at St James’s Park on Tuesday, February 8.
