Everton
have completed the signing of Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu, according to
SkySports.
The
Spaniard attacker who spent a 2013-2014 season on loan at Everton has now penned
a permanent deal.
The
21-year-old will be joining next month. He has reportedly signed a three-year
deal with an option to extend for another season.
Deulofeu
spent last season on loan at Sevilla and impressed with his displays. His
contract with Everton has a release clause that if Barcelona want to resign him
within the next two years then they can have him by meeting the contract requirements.
Everton
boss Roberto Martinez told after his signature that he does not need any
introduction, he has already spent a season at Goodison Park.
Meanwhile,
Deulofeu tweeted: “I'm back! Once a blue, always a blue!”
The
attacker is very happy with his move to Premier League side and is keen to become
an important part of the team.
Deulofeu
scored three goals in 3 appearances for Everton during his loan spell.
The
Spaniard becomes the second summer signing after the signature of Tom Cleverley
from Manchester United.
Martinez
further added that they are on the right track. They made a plan of sealing
these two deals as quickly as possible and they have done it.
