OFFICIAL: Donny van de Beek seals Everton transfer on six-month loan

Donny van de Beek signs for Everton until the end of the season.

The Dutch midfielder has been struggling to earn his place in United’s starting XI since his arrival in the summer of 2020.

He finally decides to join Premier League rivals, Everton, on loan with no clause of making the move permanent.

Everton will pay the player’s entire wages and also a loan fee to Manchester United.

“Now I can say I am an Everton player, I am really happy and can’t wait to help the team,” Van de Beek told Evertontv.

“I think it is a great club… there are really good players here and I came because I want to help them go up the table.

“I hope to bring my football qualities, my passing, and, of course, scoring goals. It is a big part of my game to score and give assists and I will try to do that again. And it is not only offensive, you have to defend as a midfielder and I can do that as well.

“I had a really positive meeting with the new coach. We have the same ideas about football and he had a lot of influence on my decision.

“I can learn a lot from him because he was a little bit in the same position – a midfield player who scored a lot of goals.

“He can help me a lot, so I think I’m in a good spot.”
