Everton have signed midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure from Watford for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old has signed a three-year contract at Goodison Park.
Doucoure becomes Everton’s third summer signing following the arrivals of Brazil international Allan and Colombia playmaker James Rodriguez, both 29.
“I have been waiting a long time to come here and now it has happened so I am very happy,” Doucoure told evertonfc.com.
“I had some interest from other clubs but from the beginning when Everton showed an interest in me I told my agent to focus on Everton.
“It was the only club I wanted to join.
“Everton has a big history in English football and it is a good club for me to have a step up in my career.
“I am very happy now to be an Everton player and very excited for the future.”
