Everton have completed the signing of midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure from Watford.
In signing for Everton, the Frenchman returns to the Premier League on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Doucoure had four seasons at Watford, making 129 Premier League appearances, with 17 goals and 11 assists.
He is Everton’s third senior signing in four days after the arrivals of Allan and James Rodriguez.
“I have been waiting a long time to come here and now it has happened so I am very happy,” Doucoure told the club’s official website.
“I can bring my energy – I am a powerful player, I can run a lot, all the game. I can add goals as well.
“I will try my best to score goals and help the team.”
Everton opens the new campaign at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 13 September.
