The transfer to Everton comes at a time when the club seeks to reinforce its goalkeeping department following the departure of several players. Reports from multiple sources, including the Liverpool Echo, The 42, and Goodison News, suggest Everton has agreed a deal with Bournemouth for Travers.
The transfer fee is reported to range between £4m and £8m and Travers is expected to undergo a medical at Goodison Park. If completed, he would serve as backup and provide competition for Jordan Pickford.
