Bournemouth have set up a deal to sign Everton youngster Bjarni Vidarsson on loan.

The Iceland Under 21 international is due to link up with the League One club when the transfer window reopens on Wednesday.

Vidarsson moved to Goodison Park in 2004, although he has yet to make his first-team debut for David Moyes' side.

He has featured regularly for Everton's reserves and played in a friendly at Bournemouth at the end of January.

The midfielder scored in a 1-1 draw and will add depth to a Cherries squad trying to climb out of the relegation zone.
