Distin joins Everton

Everton have signed defender Sylvain Distin from Portsmouth on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 31-year-old Frenchman completed the move today after passing a medical at the Goodison Park club’s Finch Farm training ground.

Distin joins the club following the sale of Joleon Lescott to Manchester City and could make his debut against Wigan at Goodison on Sunday.
