By Ibrahim Taiwo, The Nigerian Voice Sports

Everton have completed the signing of Manchester United midfielder, Donny Van De Beek on loan until the end of the season.

The Dutch midfielder has endured a tough time since joining from Ajax for £35m in the summer of 2020.

He has been linked with a move away from Manchester United since the summer after failing to break into the team.

He has now link up with Frank Lampard, who was announced as the new Everton manager earlier today.

“Now I can say I am an Everton player, I am really happy and can’t wait to help the team,” Van de Beek told evertontv.

“I think it is a great club… there are really good players here and I came because I want to help them go up the table.

“I hope to bring my football qualities, my passing, and, of course, scoring goals. It is a big part of my game to score and give assists and I will try to do that again. And it is not only offensive, you have to defend as a midfielder and I can do that as well.

“I had a really positive meeting with the new coach. We have the same ideas about football and he had a lot of influence on my decision.

“I played against him when I was at Ajax, and he was at Chelsea [as manager], so he knows me as a player. He thinks I have qualities that can help the team.

Everton are also expected to sign Dele Alli from Tottenham before the end of the transfer window.
