David Henen close to joining Everton

Everton manager Roberto Martinez reveals that Anderlecht striker David Henen is on the verge of signing on at Goodison Park.

Roberto Martinez has confirmed that David Henen will soon be an Everton player.

The 18-year-old is believed to have undergone a medical at Everton's Finch Farm training base earlier this week after Anderlecht accepted a bid in the region of £1.5m for his services.

When asked about his interest in the young striker, who spent last season on loan with Monaco, Martinez told the Liverpool Echo: "[The transfer] is in the process of being completed. He's a young, talented footballer who represents Belgium in the lower teams, in the Under-18s and has had good experience in going to France.

"He is a bright boy and we feel he is something different that we haven't got in the Under-21s so we are hoping he is going to be giving us something different in that group,

"We want a strong group. We have already got talented and very interesting footballers and I think David can fit in really well in that environment."

It is expected that the Belgian youth international will spend most of next season with Everton's development side.
