Everton Set To Sign Barcelona Younster Deulofeu On A Loan Deal

Everton are all set to secure their next signing this summer after already having made three in the last week. Reports in Spain are suggesting that the Toffees are nearing a season-long loan deal with Barcelona for their young striker Gerard Deulofeu.

Deulofeu, 19, has been part of the Barcelona youth academy, La Masia, since 2003 and has also made several first-team appearances. He has also been capped for Spain Intenational U21’s.


The forward was reportedly keen to experience English football as his place in the Barcelona first-team is still not secure. The other Premier league clubs who were interested in the player were Tottenham and Arsenal, who were willing to sign the 19-year-old on a permanent deal, but it was not acceptable to Barcelona.


Deulofeu scored 18 goals for Barcelona B last season and is a highly valued player in Spain. It appears that Everton have finally clinched the deal, beating the likes of Valencia.
