Everton have announced the signing of Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa on a three year contract.

The England underage international joins the Toffees for an undisclosed fee on a deal until the end of June 2027.

"I’m very pleased. Everton is an amazing club, a big club and I’m just really happy to join and I can’t wait to get started,” the midfielder said, speaking to the club’s media team.

"It was a move that I didn’t want to pass by. I wanted to take the opportunity.

"When I spoke to Kevin [Thelwell], he told me more about the Club – its history, the future and where they see me playing. It made me feel very excited because there are big things coming, especially with the new stadium.

"When I’ve been to Goodison as an opposition player, I’ve seen how the Everton fans are. You can tell straight away what the atmosphere is like – they are always backing the team. I’m going to work hard for them.

"I just can’t wait to get started. I’m going to give everything and I can’t wait to show what I can bring to this club."
