Jake O’Brien Passes Everton Medical As Crystal Palace Close On Financial Boost

Jake O’Brien has now come through his medical checks with Everton and passed them without an issue, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, putting Crystal Palace in line for a financial boost.

 

Sean Dyche has been looking to bolster his defensive options and Everton recently agreed a fee with Lyon for O’Brien.

 

Lyon paid Crystal Palace a fee of €1m to take O’Brien to France just last year and he has developed rapidly in Ligue 1.

 

 

Everton have agreed a fee of €20m for O’Brien and the defender has now passed his medical and is in line to sign a five-year deal.

 

Palace have a 15 per cent sell-on clause for O’Brien which applies to any profit that Lyon make.

 

 

The French side will be making a profit of €19m on the defender and that puts Palace in line for just under €3m.

 

It is another financial boost for the Eagles, following the sale of Michael Olise, at the same time as they are just about to sign winger Ismaila Sarr.

 

 

Sarr will have a medical on Tuesday.

 

O’Brien will be looking to quickly make his mark at Goodison Park under Dyche this season.
