Everton have signed Barcelona's Gerard Deulofeu on a three-year deal for six million euros (£4.3m, $6.7m), the Premier League club announced on Thursday. The 21-year-old right winger, whose deal includes the option of an extra year, had a loan spell at Goodison Park during the 2013/14 season but has now made a full-time move to the Merseyside club from the reigning European champions.
Deulofeu spent the last campaign on loan at Sevilla and hasn't managed to nail down a place in a star-studded Barca side but the Catalan giants have tried to ensure that, should he impress at Everton, they can call him back to the Camp Nou. There is a release clause in the contract if certain conditions are met, while Barcelona will also have first option on Deulofeu should Everton decide to sell.
