Everton have completed the signing of Fabian Delph from Manchester City in a deal which could be worth up to £10 million.

Manager Marco Silva and Director of Football Marcel Brands completed negotiations on a three-year deal over the weekend to secure the England midfielder in a bargain deal. Delph has already joined Everton’s pre-season training camp in Switzerland.

The 29-year-old was entering the final year of his contract at The Etihad, so City have opted to cash in now rather than lose Delph on a Bosman transfer in 2020.

It is a significant purchase for Silva, adding experience into his midfield where Delph should complement the silky skills of Andre Gomez. Silva says adding a title winner to his line-up will add valuable experience to the squad. There was plenty of competition for Delph’s signature, Everton paying an initial £8.5 million with the rest in add-ons.

Delph decided to move on from City after they recruited Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri in a club record deal, further limiting the England man's chances of featuring in his favoured role in the season ahead.

"I’m really happy to be here, I’m going to give absolutely everything - nothing less than 100 per cent,” Delph told Everton’s website.
