EVERTON are expected to complete the signing of former Saints man Cuco Martina on a free transfer.

The Curacao international will be reunited with Toffees boss Ronald Koeman, who brought him to St Mary's for £1m in 2015.

The Goodison Park club have reportedly agreed a deal with the defender, who made 36 appearances in two seasons at Saints, with the switch due to be finalised this weekend, when Martina returns from international duty.

The 27-year-old's final appearance for Saints came in the 5-0 FA Cup fourth round defeat to Arsenal at St Mary's in January.
