Everton boss Roberto Martinez is delighted to have finally gotGerard Deulofeu at Goodison Park on a permanent basis.
The deal seems to have been going on forever, but now that Deulofeu has been confirmed as an Everton player, Martinez has heaped praise on the Spaniard.
Deulofeu has put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract until the summer of 2018, with Everton having the option of a further year on the Spaniard’s deal. The contract includes a release clause if Barcelona make an offer to Everton meeting certain requirements within the first two years, and Barcelona also have a right of first refusal if Everton decide to sell the player.
“Gerard needs no introduction to anyone here at Everton, for we are all well aware of his incredible footballing talent,” said Everton manager Roberto Martinez.
“We got to know him really well from his loan period, not only as such a talented player but also his great character. He will be a fantastic asset to our Club.
“Gerard considers Everton as home and we are getting an even more mature player now than he was a couple of seasons ago.”
