Kyle Walker has reportedly agreed to join Everton, just weeks after it emerged his marriage to wife Annie Kilner was 'as bad as it's ever been'.
The right-back has won every major trophy at current side Manchester City and was allowed to join AC Milan on loan back in January.
However, Walker struggled for form at the San Siro with the 35-year-old looking a shadow of his usual self out in Italy.
Wife Annie joined him in the country but former mistress Lauryn Goodman, who Walker has fathered two children with, also jetted out to start afresh there as well.

According to The Sun, Walker is now poised to stay in the Premier League.
It's claimed the veteran, who is widely considered to be the best right-back in Premier League history, has supposedly been in talks with the Toffees ever since the end of his time with Milan.
While Walker has agreed to make the move to Merseyside, several details still need ironing out.
Everton and City are set for talks over whether the transfer will be a 12-month loan or a permanent arrangement, with Walker surplus to requirements at the Etihad Stadium.
Fulham reportedly enquired about Walker's availability yet Marco Silva's team couldn't afford his high wages.
Walker is currently in New York and is set to jet off to Jamaica for a two-week holiday, the newspaper says.
He became a legend at City, winning 17 major honours following his arrival from Tottenham back in the summer transfer window of 2017.
That included six Premier League titles, as well as the Champions League in 2023.

News of Walker's imminent move away from City comes at a time when his marriage has been described 'as bad as it's ever been'.
The Daily Mail recently said their relationship was on the brink of collapsing.
Walker and Annie hoped starting afresh in Italy would lead to them healing but it has apparently only widened the distance between the pair.
The England star was seen partying at a Milan nightclub just a day after Annie and their four children flew out to join him in the Italian city.
