Everton are understood to have accepted the Blues’ offer for forward Nathan Broadhead.

As reported earlier in the week, Town made a £1 million offer for the 24-year-old and now, according to the EADT, a fee has now been agreed.

The player, who was recalled from a loan spell at Wigan yesterday, will now decide whether to join the Blues or stay at Goodison Park.

Broadhead was a youth player with hometown side Bangor City and Wrexham before joining Everton’s academy as a 10-year-old.

The 5ft 10in tall frontman has made two senior sub appearances for the Toffeemen but has spent most of the last few seasons out on loan.

In 2019/20 he was with Burton, scoring three times in 15 starts and seven sub appearances, then spent 2021/22 on Wearside, netting 13 goals in 20 starts and seven games from the bench.

The Blues also remain interested in Swansea forward Morgan Whittaker, who was recalled from his loan at Plymouth earlier in the week. No deal is currently under discussion but a deal being agreed for Broadhead is not thought to affect Town’s pursuit of Whittaker.

Town are also still in discussions regarding Leicester striker George Hirst moving to the Blues with the 23-year-old’s loan at Blackburn expected to be cut short.

Stu_boy added 14:58 - Jan 7 I dont know anything about the lad. Those that are stating your excitement, what should we expect? Also reading the final paragraph contradicte the eadt stry. Eadt claim hirst has already been recalled but here it says the loan is expected to be cut short, can i ask has he been recalled or not?

TimmyH added 15:22 - Jan 7 Welcome aboard Nathan...I too don't really know much about him either other than what I've seen on wiki, 10 goals from 20 starts for Sunderland last season and 5 for Wigan this season, read into that what you will.

Linkboy13 added 17:29 - Jan 7 Couldn't get to the match today. It was interesting to hear a report on the first half on Talk Sport the reporter said it's all Ipswich but they are not clinical in the box where have i heard that before.

chepstowblue added 18:26 - Jan 7 A Wigan season ticket holder that I know expressed his surprise that we aren't targeting something far better. As always the jury is out until I see him with my own eyes. If he's the guy who played against us for Sunderland last season it was like watching somebody trying to control a balloon. We'll see.

Jugsy added 09:27 - Jan 9 I've got a theory on Whittaker. All things considered, he was very happy at Plymouth and enjoying his footie. What do we offer him that's any better? Not much... and he's certainly not guaranteed to start and would likely be rotated. I reckon this is gamesmanship from Ashton, showing some buying interest in him to get Swansea to recall him. Wouldn't it be fortuitous if we were playing them mid-January and we had the ability to rattle some cages and get him out of the picture...? Plymouth have mentioned there's still a chance that he'll come back before the end of the month whilst his future is being sussed out. With Hirst and Broadhead coming in, I can't see us taking a third striker/AM, especially when he was getting everything he needed in Plymouth. Could be wrong, but worth posting a conspiracy theory! :D
