Sources: Everton star Allan agrees to sign Al-Wahda straight away
Everton midfielder Allan has reached an agreement to join Middle East outfit Al-Wahda, sources have told Football Insider.
The Brazilian, 31, has been given the green light to head to the United Arab Emirates outfit on a permanent deal.
Allan will join Al-Wahda straight away as the UAE transfer window remains open until 4 October.
This comes after Football Insider exclusively revealed on Tuesday (20 September) that Allan was in talks to join Al-Wadha.
Everton have given the green light to the midfielder’s exit just over two years after joining from Napoli for £21million.
He was a key member of the team last season, with 25 Premier League starts among his 31 appearances in all competitions.
But Allan has yet to figure in the Premier League so far this season and was left out of the matchday squad for last weekend’s win over West Ham.
He is well down the pecking order in Frank Lampard’s plans and Everton are happy for him to leave.
Al-Wahda are coached by former Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal and they have offered Allan an escape route with the transfer window open for another 10 days.
His departure comes following a shake-up of the midfield under manager Lampard this season.
He has put his faith in a new-look midfield trio of summer signings Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye, and Alex Iwodi, who has been moved inside from his old winger role.
