Attacking midfielder joins from Ajax as Toffees immediately add to acquisition of Jordan Pickford

Everton have announced the transfer of Davy Klaassen from Ajax. 

The Dutch attacking midfielder has signed a five-year contract at Goodison Park, joining for a fee of €27million. 

The 24-year-old is Ronald Koeman's second summer signing, joining on the same day goalkeeper Jordan Pickford moved from Sunderland for a club-record fee.

"The moment that I spoke with the manager directly I got a good feeling," Klaassen told evertonfc.com.

"I talked to him about the Club and everything we want to achieve and he was really positive. This is a good step for me."
