EVERTON have reached an agreement to sign James Garner from Manchester United – but are still working out personal terms with the midfielder.
Garner, 21, is yet to kick a ball in the Premier League for United and has been shipped out on loan three times.

Forest decided against adding Garner to their list of eighteen signings this summer.
