Arnaut Danjuma finally joins the Blues!

Talented and versatile forward Arnaut Danjuma has signed for the club on loan from Spanish club Villareal, only a year after the club's deal with Danjuma broke down at the final hurdle.

The Dutch international, at just 26 years of age, has achieved so much, scoring 72 goals and assisting 37 times in the 8 years he has been a professional footballer including spells in the Premier League with Bournemouth, and the La Liga and Champions League with Villareal CF.

Danjuma adds his services to an already strong looking winger group, joining the likes of Alex Iwobi, James Garner and 2022 Club Player of the year Dwight McNeil.

Everton sign star Portugeuese forward to bolster striker ranks

The club recently announced the signing of Beto (25) from Italian club Udinese on a deal worth £25 million.

The Portuegese number 9, who stands tall at 1.94m, has shown he can match it with the world's best, scoring 11 and 10 goals respectively in the past two seasons in the Serie A.

Beto said in his first Everton interview: "I have grown up an Evertonian, idolising Eto'o [as a striker] and Lukaku in more recent years." "I can't wait to get started with the club I love". he continued.

It is a signing that fans have been patiently waiting for after the club's struggle with forward injuries and a proper goal scoring threat last season following Dominic Calvert-Lewin's long term knee injury and Richarlison's departure from the club.

Everton have agreed on a deal with 777 Partners, as the U.S. private equity firm is looking to taking over from former long-term owner Farhad Moshiri.

CEO of 777 Partners, Josh Wander expressed his excitement at securing ownership of their first Premier League side.

"The Premier League is the biggest league in the world and Everton are a club with a storied history that are in need of a quick fix" he said in a statement to Evertonians.

"With the season starting, it's important to set an early foundation of succees after years of hardship on and off the field".

777 Partners have a number of clubs in its portfolio that have all been acquired over the last four seasons, including Italian side Genoa and Belgian team Standard Liege, while they also have stakes in Bundesliga 2 club Hertha Berlin and more recently A-League side Melbourne Victory.

Club mourns the death of Chairman Bill Kenwright OBE

Everton Football Club is in mourning following the death of Chairman Bill Kenwright CBE, who passed away peacefully last week aged 78, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

The club released a statement commemorating the hard work Bill put into the club. 'Everton’s longest serving chairman for more than a century, Bill Kenwright led the Club through a period of unprecedented change in English football.

In his 19 seasons as Chairman, the Club secured 12 top eight finishes, including a top four finish in 2005, a run to the 2009 FA Cup final and European qualification on 6 separate occasions.

The club has lost a chairman, a leader, a friend, and an inspiration. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Everton are with his family at this tough time.'

The club will hold a minute of silence before Saturday's game against Fulham at Goodison Park to commemorate his passing.
