USL Dunkerque are closing a deal for former Everton midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin.

Gbamin has been a free agent since negotiating a release from his Everton contract a year early last summer.

Foot Mercato says he is now signing for L2 USL Dunkerque.

The midfielder will pen a deal to the end of the season with the French club with the aim of earning a longer contract.

The team from the North Sea coast is currently 19th in the table.
