Everton are in talks to sign Lyon defender Jake O'Brien.

The Republic of Ireland international, 23, is ready to switch to Goodison Park and return to English football after leaving Crystal Palace last summer.

Negotiations are ongoing over a transfer fee with personal terms expected to be agreed quickly.

O'Brien played 27 times for Lyon in Ligue 1 last season.
