AMERICAN international Brian McBride will link up with his new team-mates at Preston North End in September.
Manager David Moyes had been chasing the striker for over a month and said: "He's what we have been missing at times, a strong centre forward, excellent in the air and he will be coming over next weekend to sign."
The 28-year-old is currently playing for his side Columbus Crew and is an international team-mate of Everton's Joe-Max Moore.
