Everton midfielder Nathangelo Markelo has joined Dutch outfit FC Twente on loan until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old signed a new two-year-contract earlier this month and Everton were keen to secure him a campaign of senior football after impressing at under-23 level since joining from FC Volendam in 2017.
Markelo told the FC Twente website: "I recently renewed my contract with Everton, but there is not yet a direct view of a place in the first team.
"The chance of this is greater at FC Twente and that is why it is good for me to play here this year. I know the club well, because Jahnoah, my younger brother plays in the academy.

"That's why it's extra fun to play here this season. '
Twente start their Eredivisie campaign in September and were 14th when the league was brought to an early finish in April.
Markelo has been involved with first-team training under Carlo Ancelotti but is yet to make his first-team debut at Goodison Park.
The versatile prospect could have left on loan last summer but remained on Merseyside following talks with Marcel Brands.
He was a key part of the u-23 side that lifted an unprecedented league and cup double in 2019.
