England centre-back Conor Coady has joined Everton on a season-long loan from Premier League rivals Wolves, it was announced on Monday.
The Toffees were left short of defenders after both Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina were injured during a 1-0 defeat by Chelsea in their opening match of the new league season on Saturday.
This move sees Wolves captain Coady, 29, returning to his home city eight years after leaving Liverpool, where he came through the Anfield club's academy.
"It's incredible to join Everton," Coady told his new club's website.
"As soon as I heard the interest, from the manager but also the football club itself, I really wanted to be part of it straight away. I'm over the moon to join."
He added: "I've grown up around the city, I know the football club, how big this club is and what it means to the supporters.
"I'm someone who was desperate to come here, to play for this club. I've got family and friends who are massive Evertonians.
"I'm here to give absolutely everything I've got for this football club. It's important I work as hard as I can to help my team-mates, help the club move forward and make people proud."
Coady is the fourth player to arrive at Goodison Park during the current transfer window, following the Burnley duo of James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil as well as Sporting Lisbon defender Ruben Vinagre.
Onana joins
Everton have signed Belgium international Amadou Onana for an undisclosed fee from Lille on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old midfielder has agreed a five-year contract at Goodison Park.
"It feels great to join Everton," he told the Merseyside team's official website. "I know it's a big, big club, one of the biggest in England.
"It's something I want to be part of for many years."
