Gylfi Sigurdsson seals move to Everton

Everton last night completed the club-record signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea, for a fee believed to be around £45m (€49.2m).

The 27-year-old Iceland midfielder has put pen to paper on a five-year contract and becomes the Toffees’ eighth summer arrival.

“Hopefully I will continue to create goals and score goals for the team and contribute to the kind of success we’re seeking at the club,” Sigurdsson said.
