Sandro Ramirez leaves Malaga for Everton


Striker Sandro Ramirez has joined Everton from Malaga and signed a four-year contract.

The Toffees triggered a release clause in the 21-year-old's contract, believed to be £5.25million, and he follows Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen and Henry Onyekuru in making the move to Goodison Park. 

Former Barcelona striker Ramirez scored 16 goals in 31 appearances for Malaga last season, but says he has joined the "ideal club and ideal manager" after signing for Everton and Ronald Koeman.  

"I'm very happy, this is a big step in my career," Sandro told evertontv

"I know I'm signing for a massive club in England. Everton is the ideal place for me, I've got the ideal manager who is going to keep giving me the confidence to improve my game. 

"I cannot wait to wear the blue shirt in front of the Everton fans at Goodison Park. It's a big jump in my career coming to the Premier League and for a club like Everton which is really on the up. 

"They have got big plans and want to succeed and keep developing. I'm hoping I can get to know my team-mates as soon as possible, and want to adapt to the football and the way of life in the city."  

He added: "Everton have made some big signings and we're hoping we can put in a great season and hopefully then we can achieve that aim of getting in the Champions League. It will be a big season for us. 

"I was lucky enough to play with some of the best players in the world and managed to win the odd trophy but the important thing now is that I'm very happy to be signing for Everton. 

"We've got a fantastic squad and I'm excited about being able to compete at Everton and win plenty of silverware."
