He will now travel to Merseyside to undergo a medical tomorrow as Carlo Ancelotti looks to secure a treble swoop after the player and club already agreed personal terms.
Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez is heading to Goodison Park on a three-year contract after a deal was finally agreed for the Colombian yesterday.
And Napoli’s defensive midfielder Allan flew to Liverpool today to complete his transfer move.
Everton had chased Doucoure last summer but failed to get a deal over the line.
The ace told Watford of his desire to leave following the Hornets’ relegation from the Premier League.
But the ex-France U21 international only had his heart set on going to one club once the Toffees made their interest known.
Doucoure has played 129 times in the Premier League, including 37 matches last season.
During his four seasons he scored 17 goals and added 11 assists.
Now he will be part of Ancelotti’s monster midfield overhaul at Goodison Park.
