Mikel Arteta Joins Arsenal :'(

Mikel Arteta has left Everton to make a last minute move to Arsenal and admits that it was the ‘right time’ for him to leave Everton as he would like to play at the highest level possible and playing for Arsenal in the champions league will allow him to do this.

The 29-year-old completed the £10 million move to the Emirates just minutes before Wednesday’s transfer deadline after six-and-half years at the Club. he added that he felt he has given his all for Everton and that he couldn’t possibly give any more for the club and at the age of 29 he feels this is the ideal point to make a move away from the club as he may not get the chance to play at this level again.

Everton Sign Stracqualursi

Everton have signed Denis Stracqualursi on a season long loan from Tigre and he has vowed to do everything in his power to make the most of the ‘big opportunity’ Everton have given him.

Stracqualursi who’s name is pronounced Strak-wa-loor-si arrived at Goodison Park from relative obscurity, despite finishing last season as the top-scorer in the Argentine Primera Division.

Stracqualursi first became aware of the Blues’ interest in him several months ago and was delighted to see that come to fruition with his loan move from Argentine minnows Tigre.

The striker told evertontv: “I know that Everton has a big history in England and is an important club. I am very excited to be here. It is a big opportunity for me and I will do everything I can to help the team.

Beckford Joins Sven's Foxes

Jermaine Beckford has signed for Leicester City for a £2.5m fee. The deal was agreed late on transfer deadline day. 

The striker leaves Everton just one season after arriving on a free transfer and will link up with the big-spending Championship outfit after agreeing a four-year deal with Sevn-Goran Eriksson’s side.

He scored 10 goals while at Everton, following his step-up to the Premier League after four seasons at Leeds United.

Before exiting his last goal for Everton was a spectacular solo winner against Chelsea on the last day of last season.

The Yak Goes To Blackburn

Blackburn have signed Everton’s Yakubu for an undisclosed fee the Nigerian International has signed a three-year deal with the Ewood Park club.

He moved to Everton for £11m, and maintained his impressive goalscoring record for David Moyes side.

But in the 2009/10 season the Nigerian suffered with a serious Achilles tendon injury but even once he came back he had lost his place in the Everton squad and couldn’t find his was back in.

Because of this the striker was sent out on loan for the 2010/11 season with Leicester City where he scroed 11 goals in 20 games. But on his return to Everton he still couldn’t find his way back into David Moyes squad.

Duffy Goes To Scunthorpe

Everton's teenage defender Shane Duffy has joined Scunthorpe United on loan.

He joins the League One outfit on an initial one-month deal and could feature in their game against Colchester this weekend.

Duffy, currently on international duty with the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad, has been a reserve team regular over the last two seasons.

The 19-year-old also has two senior appearances in Europe under his belt and spent time on loan at Burnley last season.
