# Everton: Donny van de Beek move a step closer

**Donny van de Beek is undergoing a medical at Everton ahead of his loan move from Manchester United, Sky Sports News have revealed.**

### The lowdown

It [emerged on Sunday](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1487751982974709760) that Van de Beek had opted to join The Toffees for the remainder of the 2021/22 season.

Crystal Palace [were also interested](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1487751982974709760) in the Dutchman, but he’ll instead take up the opportunity to work under Frank Lampard on Merseyside.

Everton have agreed to [foot the entirety](https://theathletic.com/news/manchester-uniteds-donny-van-de-beek-decides-to-join-everton-on-loan/DYzeZkafXoIs/) of his [£120,000-per-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/payroll/) salary for the duration of the loan period.

The [£22.5million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/profil/spieler/288255) midfielder has only played [380 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/leistungsdaten/spieler/288255) in all competitions this season and is yet to start a Premier League game.

### The latest

Referring to Sky Sports’ ‘State of Play’ transfer tacker, presenter Tom White said Van de Beek’s move was now a step closer to completion.

“Everton are close to signing him on loan after agreeing a deal with Manchester United,” [he said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOXDdY9L-Y4).

“It \[the transfer tacker\] says ‘in talks’. In the last few seconds, that has changed because \[he’s having a\] medical now.

“That has just come into us in the last few seconds, a fresh update to us.”

### The verdict

Completing the signing of Van de Beek would make it a very solid January for Everton.

They’ve found a long-term successor for Seamus Coleman in the form of Nathan Patterson, and also moved quickly to replace Lucas Digne with the signing of another youngster, Vitaliy Mykolenko.

Anwar El-Ghazi, on loan from Aston Villa, adds depth to the squad, and Van de Beek, billed ‘close to perfect’ by [BT Sport’s Owen Hargreaves](https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/man-utd-legends-queue-up-to-heaps-praise-on-perfect-van-de-beek-performance-4349015), should inject real quality.
