Everton have sealed the signing of Abdoulaye Doucoure from Watford completing a treble of impressive transfers.
The bustling midfielder joins the Goodison Park side for a fee in the region of £20million, on a three-year deal.
It's the third exciting signing for Carlo Ancelotti in the past few days following the arrival of Allan from Napoli and James Rodriguez from Real Madrid.
Doucoure, 27, has been a long-term target for the Toffees, and following Watford's relegation last season interest intensified.
It is no exaggeration to say that the three transfers have lifted the mood tremendously on the blue half of Merseyside, as you can tell by fans on social media, who have lauded the signing.
Here is what is being said...
"I have been waiting a long time to come here and now it has happened so I am very happy," Doucoure said he sealed the deal.
"I had some interest from other clubs but from the beginning when Everton showed an interest in me I told my agent to focus on Everton.
"It was the only club I wanted to join.
"Everton has a big history in English football and it is a good club for me to have a step up in my career.
"I am very happy now to be an Everton player and very excited for the future."
