Everton plan to sign Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen permanently and are looking to press ahead with a deal when the transfer window opens.
Olsen, 30, moved from AS Roma on a season-long loan to increase competition for places with Jordan Pickford and it is understood that a £6 million valuation was placed on him at the time of his switch.
He has made three appearances so far, including the Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat against Manchester United, with Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti opting to rest Pickford on occasions.
Olsen has impressed with his calm demeanour and when Ancelotti was asked if he wanted to tie up a permanent deal for the player, he said: “Yes, I think we are pleased to have him here.
“He is a goalkeeper with experience so I think we are going to talk with him and his agent to find a solution for him to be here permanently. It can be done in January or in June.

“We had important players out — Digne, Allan, Richarlison. With these players the squad is good enough to be in European position. We have a good squad for this. To be in the top four will be more difficult.

“At this moment we are pleased to be there, but this doesn’t mean we are at the same level as these top teams.”

Ancelotti, who must check on the fitness of Michael Keane, added he will allow anyone who wants to leave his squad for more regular football to go. Cenk Tosun has been linked with a move to West Bromwich Albion and teaming up again with Sam Allardyce, who signed the Turkey forward in January 2018.

The 30-year-old came on loan from Roma to increase competition for places with Jordan Pickford and it is understood that a £6 million valuation was placed on him at the time of his switch in October. He has made three appearances, including the Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester United.

Olsen has impressed with his calm demeanour and when Ancelotti was asked if he wanted to tie up a permanent deal for the goalkeeper, the Everton manager said: “Yes, we are pleased to have him here. He is a goalkeeper with experience so we are going to talk with him. I think he gives good support to Jordan also.”

Look at the impressive length of those arms ;-).

We won’t be able to sell him unfortunately, the hope was that we’d buy a keeper and he’d become the backup.

There’s no chance whatsoever that Pickford stays here as back up even if we did sign a new keeper.

He’d be off for first team football.

Don't care it's still not good enough

I would say Olsen Is going to be our back up. He’s much better than what we currently have.
I hope we replace Pickford next summer. But who knows

Should be selling one of Lossl or Virginia next summer.

Thought he might of been of interest to us in the summer. Would be a surprise if he moved in January especially as Norwich are likely to come back up and he would have a higher value.

I expect Olsen only.

If the rumours of Tosun to West Brom and Bernard leaving. Then we will definitely be bringing in another forward player

Kirkbride loves a good "The Echo understands Everton will NOT be doing any business unless loans or free deals whereas Liverpool look keen to bolster their ranks with the arrivals of Mbappe, Neymar & Koulibaly.
