SIG’S GREEN LIGHT

FROM BACK PAGE wants to thrash out a fee before the weekend to give him time to bring in reinforcements.

Sigurdsson, 27, has been pulled out of Saturday’s friendly against Sampdoria by Clement (right) and his exit from the Liberty now looks a formality.

Everton have seen two bids for Sigurdsson rejected but Koeman said: “Of course we are interested in the player – that’s clear for everybody to see – and let’s hope we sign him.”

Full-back Callum Connolly, 19, could be offered to Swansea as a sweetener – while Everton are still interested in Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud and also Crystal Palace’s former Liverpool hitman Christian Benteke.
