Everton have agreed terms with Sunderland for goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
PA Sports says the Black Cats have accepted an offer from the Merseyside club which could rise to £30million with various add-ons included in the package.
Pickford was one of the few bright spots as Sunderland were relegated last term and he is currently in Poland with England Under-21s.
Last year he brought in fellow Dutchman Maarten Stekelenburg but neither he nor Joel Robles could nail down a regular spot between the posts as they made 19 Premier League starts each.
Born in the north-east, Pickford came through Sunderland's academy system and had a series of loan deals with the likes of Preston, Bradford, and Carlisle prior to becoming his boyhood club's number one last term.
Should the terms of each of the add-ons be met, Pickford would become Everton's record signing, eclipsing the £28million they shelled out for Romelu Lukaku in 2014.
