Toffees secure work permit for Ever
Everton have managed to secure a work permit for Argentina midfielder Ever Banega as the Toffees close in on a deal for the Valencia star.
The 21-year-old is expected to arrive on Merseyside shortly to complete a season-long loan deal from the La Liga giants.
Toffees boss David Moyes is looking to employ Banega in a similar role to Mikel Arteta, who is currently sidelined with a knee ligament injury.
Moyes said: "Our application for a work permit has been passed and hopefully we will get to see him in a few days.
"He has very good ability and is a little bit similar to Mikel Arteta in lots of ways in that he can retain the ball and pass it.
"Ever is on a year's loan. If he's good then we will keep him, if he's not we can always send him back."

Valencia deny Banega switch
Club officials baffled by Everton claim
Valencia have dismissed claims that Everton have agreed a loan deal and obtained a work permit for midfielder Ever Banega.
Everton boss David Moyes
announced on the club's official website that a deal was in place to bring the Argentine midfielder on a season-long loan from the Spanish club.However, various officials from inside the financially struggling club, and even the player himself, have rejected the claims and maintain that the 21-year-old remains in the Valencia squad.
Valencia communication director Damia Vidagany insisted: "No negotiations with Everton exist or any other club for the loan of Ever Banega. This news is not true."
Following a training session the player, who has been compared by Moyes to Mikel Arteta,
told journalists that although he knew nothing of a move to Goodison Park, he expects to leave the club."I cannot say anything about Everton. For me the only news is that I will leave Valencia this season," he said.
The player's agent Marcelo Simonian
reiterated his client's claim by stating: "I do not have contact with
the English club and I have not received an offer on this subject."Valencia sporting director Fernando Gomez also added weight to the club's stance by insisting: "Valencia will not negotiate the loan of players at the moment."
