Per Liverpool Echo, the two clubs are in deep talks to try and reach an agreement.

If he does sign on the dotted line, O’Brien would become Everton’s fifth signing of the off-season.

O’Brien started out at Cork City, before spending time with Crystal Palace, and then moving to Lyon.

He scored four goals in the league for his team, along with a goal in the French Cup final loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
