Everton have signed Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea for £45m
Everton had two bids rejected for the Iceland star before finally agreeing the deal.
The Toffees made Sigurdsson their top target as they look to replace Romelu Lukaku.
Sigurdsson will join forces with Wayne Rooney and Sandro in a new-look attack at Goodison Park after signing a five-year deal.
“Hopefully I will continue to create goals and score goals for the team and contribute to the kind of success we’re seeking at the Club,” Sigurdsson told evertontv.

“This is an ambitious club and it is clear we are moving in a really good direction. The most important thing is that this team keeps winning games and climbing the table - and does that throughout the season.
“For myself, I would like to score as many goals as possible and create as many goals for my teammates as I can. These are my targets.
“But it is always the same thing: as long as the team is winning I will be more than happy.”
