Both Bryan Oviedo and Darron Gibson are set to sign for struggling Sunderland this afternoon, according to reports.
David Moyes is looking to strengthen his side following Patrick van Aanholt’s £14m move to Crystal Palace and he has identified the Everton pair as suitable recruits.
Ronald Koeman has begun to shape his new-look Everton side, with Gerard Deulofeu and Tom Cleverley already leaving the club on loan deals.
The emergence of Tom Davies, as well as the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin, has seen Gibson’s place in the team become non-existent, hence his move away from the club.
Oviedo has featured only once under boss Ronald Koeman who has played a three-at-the-back formation for the majority of the season, preferring Leighton Baines as the wing-back.

The Toffees could look to sign a left-back in the final day of the transfer window, though at this stage, that looks unlikely.
The Merseysiders could look to make a few moves on deadline day, with a striker and a central defender seemingly two of the positions that the club would like to strengthen further.
