Everton starlet Bassala Sambou is on his way to Holland.

The Sun says Sambou is set to sign for Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard despite interest from the Championship and Bundesliga.

The Toffees tried to keep hold of the talented goalscorer by offering him a two-year extension.

But Sambou, who won two Premier League 2 titles in the Under-23s, has opted to leave Merseyside in search of guaranteed first-team football.

Fortuna Sittard finished 15th in Holland's top division last season.
