EVERTON are reportedly set to sign goal-keeper Cecilia Ran Runarsdottir from Icelandic outfit Fylkir on a four-year deal.
Runarsdottir, 17, will join the Toffees in July when she turns 18 for an undisclosed fee, according to Goal.com.
The Icelandic national is currently on loan at Swedish club KIF Orebro where she will stay until summer, Goal also claim.
Everton seem to keeping the deal under wraps, and neither club nor player have announced the move yet.
Runarsdottir’s career has been on a steady rise since she began playing football at 13.
She started out at Afturelding and helped them win the Second Division title before joining the Urvalsdeild, Iceland’s top-flight with Fylkir.
Her career took off while she was at the club, and she was named the league’s Young Player of the Year in 2020.
She also won her first international cap in 2020, after receiving her first senior call up the previous year.
Willie Kirk’s move for the wonder-kid to bolster his squad comes a week after his number-one stopper Sandy MacIver signed a new deal with the club.
MacIver stated that the Toffees ambition to break into the WSL top four was one of the main reasons she decided to stay.
She said: “The Champions League is where we want to be. I really believe the foundations are in place to do that.
“I don’t see why we can’t break into that top three or four in the WSL and cement ourselves as a top side in Europe.”
