Darron Gibson signs contract at Everton

Darron Gibson has finalised his move to Everton by putting pen to paper on a four-and-half-year deal.

The midfielder has left Manchester United for a preferred switch to Merseyside following reports that the Premier League clubs were hatching out a deal for the 24-year-old yesterday.

It is unclear how much the Toffees paid for the acquisition of the playmaker. However, it is believed that a fee in the region of £2.5m was enough to capture the player.

Gibson, who racked up 31 appearances and four goals for the Red Devils, will wear the number four shirt and could make his debut against Aston Villa tomorrow.
