Rangers defender Nathan Patterson is expected to undergo an Everton medical today.

The Daily Record says the Rangers full-back has travelled south to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms with the Goodison club - with the bumper deal expected to be wrapped up and officially announced by on Tuesday at the earliest.

It's believed the fee could rise to as much as £16m depending on how well the 20-year-old adapts to life in England's Premier League.

The clubs have also agreed a future sell-on clause but it's understood Rangers have had to scale back on their original demands in order to secure a bigger slice of the initial transfer windfall is paid up front.

Everton boss Rafa Benitez missed out on a late bid for the 20-year-old in the last days of the summer transfer window but with Patterson still frustrated with a lack of top team chances at Ibrox - and Rangers set to bank a record fee - the move clearly suits all parties.
