Everton coach Roberto Martinez on Monday confirmed that his club has agreed a deal to sign AS Monaco striker Lacina Traore on loan until the end of the season, subject to a work permit being granted.
Meanwhile, Martinez also confirmed that 25-year-old Republic of Ireland international Seamus Coleman is set for a spell on the sidelines after limping off the field during Everton’s 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Monday night. He has a hamstring injury but it’s still unclear how long he will be out for.
