Everton seal deal for Leandro Rodriguez

Everton have acquired the services of striker Leandro Rodriguez from Uruguayan side River Plate for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old notched 19 goals in 71 outings for his boyhood club, and Toffees boss Roberto Martinez expects him to get going straight away with the first-team.

“He’s a young talent – one of those elite, talented youngsters who we like to bring in,” he told the club’s official website.

Rodriguez is Everton's fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of the Mason Holgate, Gerard Deulofeu and Tom Cleverley.
