Everton are set to complete the signing of Super Falcons winger Toni Payne.
Payne is expected to link up with the Toffees alongside his former Sevilla teammates Inma Gabarro.
The duo were released last week by Spanish Femenino outfit Sevilla.
Everton have been following the two players since January, according to The UK Guardian.
Payne made 30 appearances for Sevilla last season with six goals to her name. READ ALSO:

The WSL transfer window officially opens on 24 June and will remain open until 13 September, before the new season begins on 21-22 September.
The former Ajax player represented the United States at youth international level but switched her allegiance to Nigeria and was part of the Super Falcons squad that reached the knockout stage of last summer’s Women’s World Cup.
