Idrissa Gueye had a medical at Everton earlier today
That is according to ESPN, who claim the Senegal international travelled to Merseyside earlier today to undergo an Everton medical and discuss personal terms.
The 26-year-old only arrived at Villa Park last summer for £9m and was a rare bright spark in a season to forget for Villa.
Gueye is set to become Ronald Koeman's second signing at Goodison Park, following the arrival of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg from Fulham.

Which Football Star Are You?
Premier League champions Leicester reportedly wanted Gueye before signing N'Golo Kante a year ago, with reports suggesting they could renew their interest this summer after losing the Frenchman to Chelsea.
Gueye has also been linked with a number of Ligue 1 clubs, namely Marsille who consider him as an ideal replacement should they lose Lassana Diarra.
