The wonderful news emanating from Goodison Park this afternoon is that Everton have tied up a deal for former Barcelona prodigy Gerard Deulofeu.
The Spanish winger, who spent 2014/15 on loan at Sevilla from Barca having spent the previous season at Everton on similar terms, joins for a fee of around £4.25million in old money…

It’s being reported that Deulofeu, 21, has signed a three-year deal with the Toffees (with the option of a fourth year if needs be), which is just super.

Good show, and a great deal for Everton too. There’s one hell of a nifty little player inside Deulofeu just waiting to break out.
All that remains to be seen is if they can spell his name right this time round…
