Everton have signed Republic of Ireland defender Jake O'Brien from Lyon. The 23-year-old centre-back has signed a four-year deal and returns to the Premier League, having only joined the Ligue 1 club from Crystal Palace last year.

Jake O'Brien is poised to depart Olympique Lyon for a move to England. The towering Irishman is on the brink of joining Everton for approximately 26 million euros. Due to various clauses tied to the central defender, OL is not expected to receive the full amount. Crystal Palace will benefit from a 25% resale clause for O'Brien, netting them over 6 million euros from the sale. Additionally, Cork City is set to receive a training fee for the 23-year-old defender. Despite these deductions, the transaction will still be advantageous for OL, who acquired O'Brien for less than one million euros from Crystal Palace last summer.

Everton are also said to be in for the Republic of Ireland international.

That would leave the Toffees with just three centre-backs in Jarrad Branthwaite, Michael Keane and James Tarkowski.
