I'm on the verge of clicking 'accept' on his transfer from Udinese for 18m to my Everton side
Problem is I already have Ryben Yttegard Jensen, who has stats that are very similar, a little better in the mental aspect, but a little worse in the defending aspect, but apart from that virtually indentical

Jensen is 24 or 5, Poli is 23

I also have in my midfield

Albin Ekdal
Marouane Feilani
Benat
Isco

Is it worth blowing money on Poli when I have a few similar players? I am in need of a back-up RB / a more defensive midfielder to deputise for Feilani (Im thinking Casemiro if I can get him reasonably cheap)

Any suggestions?

I signed him for Tottenham for £10,000,000 and he struggled to get in the first team. He was a decent squad player but not much more than that.

Looking at the players you have listed, he would probably struggle to get into your team too, so I'd avoid him (especially at £18,000,000).

I completely agree. I always try to sign Yttergard-Jensen and Ekdal. The other players are more expensive. Poli is not better than the other ones and you only should buy him if you get an offer you can't refuse for any of the other players.
