Everton are ready to send Shani Tarashaj back to Grasshoppers.

Blick reports Everton will release the attacking midfielder to Grasshoppers in the coming days. Negotiations are now at an advanced stage.

Tarashaj signed for Everton two years ago, but failed to make a first team impression.

The 23 year-old Switzerland international spent last year on-loan with Eintracht Frankfurt. He will soon sign a one-year deal with Grasshoppers.
