By Stuart W. Bedford /

reportedly agreed an undisclosed fee €“ believed to be around the £20m mark €“ for the transfer of Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell. It was only recently that City boss Roberto Mancini fumed at the club€™s current lack of transfer activity but just ahead of the Premier League champion€™s clash with Chelsea at Villa Park on Sunday it was confirmed that the fee for Rodwell had been confirmed.

€œEverton have agreed an undisclosed fee with Manchester City for the transfer of Jack Rodwell," said an Everton spokesperson recently in an official statement. "The midfielder is set to undergo a medical with the Premier League champions on Sunday."
The 21 year old midfielder recently won his first England cap and has also previously been linked to with City derby rivals Manchester United. Rodwell has had his share of problems in the past, particularly with repeated injuries to his knee, which unfortunately killed his chance to play the sport at the Olympics. That being said, he has been rated within the £20m bracket and is considered by many to be an extremely bright prospect for the future. Rodwell has been named in Hodgson€™s squad for next Wednesday€™s upcoming friendly in Switzerland with Italy.
