Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu is set to undergo a medical ahead of a loan move to AC Milan.

The 22-year-old arrived in Milan on Monday and, if all being well, will put the finishing touches on a temporary switch to the San Siro.

Sky Sports News HQ reported last week that the Serie A giants had approached Everton about the possibility of taking the Spaniard on loan for the remainder of the season.

Milan have since been negotiating with Everton over a loan fee and even announced they had signed Deulofeu last week, something which the Toffees denied.

Deulofeu joined Everton from Barcelona in the summer of 2015 on a permanent basis having spent a successful loan spell with the club during the 2013-14 season.

Barcelona have the option of a buy-back clause as part of the deal that took Deulofeu to Merseyside, but that will not prevent any potential move to Milan.

Deulofeu has found his playing time limited since the arrival of manager Ronald Koeman at Everton last summer.
