Sandro Ramirez has joined Everton on a four-year contract
Everton have been busy in the transfer market this summer but could Sandro Ramirez be their smartest signing yet? From the Canary Islands to Merseyside, Nick Wright charts the striker's journey to the Premier League with the man who spotted him for Barcelona.
In a summer of big transfer spending across Europe, Everton's £5.25m move for Sandro Ramirez stands out. The 21-year-old cemented his status as one of the most exciting young players in Spain with 16 goals in 31 appearances for a struggling Malaga side last season, but due to the meagre buy-out clause in his contract, he was available for a fraction of his true value.
Atletico Madrid seemed his most likely destination before their transfer ban was upheld at the start of June, and there were whispers about Real Madrid before Everton finally got their man. "There was a lot of interest in Sandro," admitted Ronald Koeman afterwards. "He's a goalscorer, he's young and he has a big future in the game."
