Everton medical booked as £33.7m deal agreed for Orel Mangala 

Florian Plettenberg reports that Orel Mangala is scheduled to have his physical with Everton on Wednesday. A verbal agreement has been reached between Lyon and the Belgium international, according to a report published on August 27 by the journalist for Sky Sports.

At the conclusion of the season, the 26-year-old has the option to purchase for £33.7 million from the Toffees after joining on an initial loan. Prior to moving to Goodison Park, the former Nottingham Forest player is scheduled to have his medical on Wednesday, August 28.

It appears like Sean Dyche will be adding more midfield sturdiness to his team. This is following a poor start to the Premier League campaign. Inorporating Mangala’s quality into his team for the season might end up being a wise decision.

There’s no assurance the Belgian will be successful at Goodison after a rollercoaster season with Nottingham Forest. But there’s less risk when he plays on loan. It’s safe to conclude that spending more than £30 million on the midfield player may have been overspent, but his original loan arrangement is beneficial.
