Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has agreed to drop his compensation price for Roberto Martinez to move to Everton.
The Daily Mail says Everton will appoint Roberto Martinez as their next manager after agreeing a £1.5million compensation package with Wigan. Whelan had been demanding £2 million.
The 39-year-old Spaniard will succeed David Moyes and will look to bring in assistants Graeme Jones and Kevin Reeves, along with goalkeeping coach Inaki Bergara and conditioning coach Richard Evans in a new-look Everton backroom team that may yet find room for Phil Neville, Alan Stubbs or David Weir.
