Big-spending Everton seal hat-trick of new signings

eVeRton have signed Bernard, Yerry mina and andre Gomes — with Kurt Zouma set to follow after a manic deadline day at Goodison Park. Brazilian winger Bernard arrives on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk and was announced as an everton player shortly before yesterday’s 5pm deadline. Colombia defender mina and Portugal midfielder Gomes were both confirmed by Barcelona, with mina costing £28.5m and Gomes arriving on loan for a £2m fee. everton shrugged aside manchester United’s criticism of mina’s agents to push the move through. United balked at a deal, blaming mina’s representatives for escalating fees. the fee is an initial £27.2m, with £1.3m in add-ons, while Barca have also inserted a buy-back option. a loan deal for Chelsea defender Zouma should be finalised today.
