TOM DAVIES is closing in on a Premier League return following his Everton exit.
The 25-year-old left his boyhood club this summer after turning down a new contract.
The midfielder played 179 games for the Toffees after joining their academy aged 11.
Davies, 24, was offered the opportunity to stay and fight for his place at Goodison Park.
But after starting just four Premier League games last season, the former England youth international opted to move elsewhere in search of more regular game time.
