Sigurdsson is undergoing a medical at the Toffees today ahead of his £45million move.

The Icelandic playmaker will finally undergo final checks before aiming to complete his protracted transfer to Goodison Park.

The saga has dragged on for most of the summer with Swansea initially valuing the 27-year-old at £50million.

But Everton are finally set to secure their number one summer target at a price slightly lower than Swansea had wanted and take their summer spending to over £140million.

And White thinks another new boy could follow in moving to Goodison Park.

Everton transfer news: Gylfi Sigurdsson will complete a move today

He told talkSPORT: “Sigurdsson is a big deal in every which way

“Who’s going to be next after Sigurdsson - because there will be another. Another will be on their way  after him.”

Sigurdsson pulled out of Swansea's pre-season tour to the United States after Everton's interest had become clear.

He rejoined first-team training upon Swansea's return from the States but he did not figure in their Premier League opener at Southampton on Saturday.

Swansea rejected two Everton bids for Sigurdsson, but Toffees boss Ronald Koeman said last weekend that the deal was "still close" after reports that talks between the two clubs had broken down.

And Swansea manager Paul Clement was just as keen to close the deal to allow him time to find replacements before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

"The objective and the aim is that at some point the two clubs will meet," Clement said ahead of the goalless draw at Southampton.

"I think the way it's going there needs to be more than likely a compromise on both sides. That is very often how a deal is made.

"We are at a critical stage of this situation and hope it's going to be resolved very quickly."
