Everton sign Villa Anwar El Ghazi
Everton have signed Aston Villa forward Anwar El Ghazi on loan until the
end of the season.
The 26-year-old becomes Everton’s third signing of the January transfer
window, following the arrivals of Ukraine left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko and
Scotland right-back Nathan Patterson.
The move follows Everton’s sale of left-back Lucas Digne to Aston Villa in a
deal worth up to £25m.
El Ghazi, who started his career at Ajax before moving to Lille and on to
Villa, scored 10 goals in 17 Premier League starts and 11 substitute
appearances last season.
He played a key role in helping Villa back to the Premier League in 2019,
scoring the opening goal in their Championship play-off final win over
Derby.
