Everton signing Sandro Ramirez's Malaga highlights
Reports in Spain claimed Atletico Madrid were ready to hijack Everton's move for the Malaga forward.
But Sky Sports presenter Jim White says Sandro has signed for the Toffees on a five-year-deal and it's claimed the Spanish Under-21 international will wear the number nine shirt.
Last season Sandro scored 14 La Liga goals.
When made official by Everton, Sandro will become their fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen and Henry Onyekuru.

Everton are also closing in on England defender Michael Keane in a £25m deal.
The Burnley centre-back is a top target for Ronald Koeman.
And the Merseyside club appear to have convinced Keane his future is at Goodison Park rather than Manchester United.
