Everton have signed midfielder James Garner from Manchester United in a deal reportedly worth up to £15million.
Garner spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, scoring four goals and providing 10 assists to help the club win promotion to the Premier League.
He was expected to be given a chance to impress new United manager Erik ten Hag, but he signed a four-year deal with the Toffees on Thursday after completing a transfer apparently worth an initial £9m.
I m made up to sign for Everton. It s a huge step in my career and I want to help the team get better while progressing as a player, Garner told Everton s official website.
I think Everton is the perfect place to do that. I can t wait to get started. The manager [Frank Lampard] has got a rea…
Crystal Palace and Everton will replay their FA Cup third-round clash after their Selhurst Park encounter ended in a goalless draw.
The Toffees were down to 10 men after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was shown red for a challenge in the 79th minute of a contest that began under a south London downpour.
Those who braved the rain took in a largely uneventful first half that ended with a single shot on target for the visitors and none for the hosts.

La Liga side Sevilla are set to make a move for Manchester United’s Juan Mata when the transfer window reopens in January, .
The Spain international, who signed for United last January for a then club record fee of £37.5m, has been in and out of the side since Louis van Gaal took charge at Old Trafford, though his winner against Stoke City on Tuesday evening was his tenth this calendar year.
Prior to his move to Manchester, Mata spent two-and-a-half years with Chelsea, where he racked up one hundred and thirty-five appearances, scored thirty-three goals and was part of the squad that won both the FA Cup and Champions League in 2012 and the Europa League a year later.

According to Marca, goalkeeper appears set to follow in his father s footsteps once more by leaving the Champions of Europe for pastures new. The 20-year-old has been a part of the club since the age of 6, but now that his father Zinedine has left his position as manager, it seems like Luca could follow suit. Zidane apparently won t even be sticking around for pre-season, with the incoming Andriy Lunin being seen as his successor.
Luca will likely make his decision with the help of his father, and while going out on loan is always a possibility, all the youngster seems to care about is wanting to get more playing time regardless of whether it s on a permanent deal or not. Luca made his professional debut during Real s final league game of the season against Villarreal, and he…
Brighton and Hove Albion s Moises Caicedo is confident he will have further chances to join one of the Premier League s elite clubs, though he admits his failed January move to Arsenal was tough .
Arsenal reportedly saw bids of up to £70million rejected by Brighton in the most recent transfer window, with the 21-year-old publicly expressing his desire to join the league leaders.
Caicedo ultimately stayed put, however, and he even agreed a new long-term contract with the Seagulls in March.
Arsenal were initially expected to make another approach for Caicedo at the end of the season, while Liverpool have also been linked with a move as they look to rebuild their midfield.
While Caicedo struggled amid Arsenal s overtures, he does not believe he has missed h…

Xavi described 15-year-old Lamine Yamal as fearless after the winger became the youngest player to be included in Barcelona s squad for a competitive game.
Yamal, a La Masia product who will turn 16 in July, could become the youngest player to feature for Barca when they face Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday.
The Spain Under-19 international is already the youngest player to be named in an official Blaugrana matchday squad, but Xavi is confident he can make an impact if called upon.
He is a player who can help us because he is talented, Xavi said on Saturday. He has a lot of personality, he can play one-on-one, he is strong and I am convinced that he can help us.
I have spoken with him and he is grateful and happy. If the circumstances arise that h…
Spanish newspaper that Angel Di Maria could be leaving Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.
The Argentine winger has been unable to agree a new deal with los Merengues and Real Madrid chiefs might decide to cash in on him in the summer before his value decreases.
Los Blancos need the cash to launch an assault on Gareth Bale and they are looking to get between €25m and €35m for the highly rated forward.

Di Maria, 25, joined Real Madrid in a €25 million deal from Benfica in the summer of 2010 and has since proved his worth at the biggest stage.

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has warned Roberto Mancini that he could find the going difficult as the Premier League is completely different to Serie A.
But the Internazionale boss, who succeeded Mancini at the San Siro, also believes that the newly appointed Manchester City manager will enjoy life at Eastlands.
Mancini will appear at his first press conference as City manager later today after being named as the replacement for the sacked Mark Hughes on Saturday evening.
Mourinho had a hugely successful spell at Chelsea before joining Inter and he believes Mancini, who has been out of work since leaving the Nerazzurri in May 2008, is a good fit for ambitious City.
I want to wish the best of luck to my colleague Roberto Mancini for his appointment …
