Sources: Demarai Gray agrees Fulham personal terms as Everton talks advance

Everton winger Demarai Gray has agreed personal terms with Fulham, sources have told Football Insider.

An agreement is yet to be reached by the two Premier League sides, but it is believed that a breakthrough is close as talks reach the final stages.

The 27-year-old is not training with Everton at present after being given permission to discuss a transfer.

Football Insider revealed on Tuesday (25 July) that Premier League duo Fulham and Crystal Palace are facing competition from Saudi Arabia for the 27-year-old’s signature.

The former Leicester City star has less than 12 months remaining on his contract, and talks with the Merseysiders about a renewal are yet to progress.

Gray could now depart Goodison Park for a big profit just two years after arriving for a reported £1.7million from Bayer Leverkusen.

He notched six goals and one assist in 36 appearances across all competitions in the 2022-23 campaign as Everton only narrowly avoided relegation with a victory over Bournemouth on the final day of the season.

Everton have the option to extend his deal until June 2025.

Toffees boss Sean Dyche is believed to be keen to raise transfer funds after receiving limited backing from the club’s owners since taking over in January.

Football Insider revealed that Everton are leading the race to sign Leeds United starlet Wilfried Gnonto as they look to bring in another forward.

Arnaut Danjuma and Ashley Young have already arrived at Goodison Park since the start of the summer window.
