Everton wrapping up deal for Southampton fullback Cuco Martina

Everton are wrapping up the signing of Southampton fullback Cuco Martina.

The Mirror says Everton have completed their seventh signing of their record-breaking summer by landing Martina on a Bosman from Southampton.

Everton agreed a deal with Martina some weeks ago and the defender, who is an international with the tiny Caribbean island of Curacao, will arrive at Goodison Park over the weekend.

Martina, 27, quit Southampton at the end of last season after making 24 Premier League appearances during his two years at St Mary's.

Blues boss Ronald Koeman is keen to boost his options at full-back with Seamus Coleman still recovering from his broken leg.
