Benfica midfielder Manuel Fernandes is being linked with a loan move to Everton until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old is reported to be having a medical at Goodison Park on Monday and could move to the club on a permanent basis at the end of the season if the temporary switch proves to be a success.
Fernandes has been on loan at Portsmouth this season and was expected to seal a permanent switch to Fratton Park, only for the move to break down over a transfer fee dispute.
He will sign a four-year contract with Everton in the summer for a transfer fee expected to be in the region of £6million.
Fernandes scored one goal in 12 appearances for Pompey.
