The Toffees have been tracking Manolas for over six months, and will now use the cash received from the sale of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov to complete a move for the defender.<br />

The AEK Athens player has recently enjoyed a call up to the Greek international side, and is expected to be a regular internationally in the coming years.<br />
