Done deal! Everton sign Jake O'Brien from Lyon
A done deal to bring you from the Premier League tonight.
Everton have completed the signing of Jake O’Brien from Lyon for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £16.8m.
The two-cap Republic of Ireland international defender, 23, has penned a four-year contract at Goodison Park lasting until 2028 after just one impressive season in Ligue 1 that followed a £1m switch from Crystal Palace last summer.
The Eagles apparently had a 20 per cent sell-on clause in that original deal, so should now net a nice little windfall.

West Ham have entered talks over a possible deal to sign Borussia Dortmund and Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug, writes Standard Sport’s Dom Smith.
The 31-year-old scored twice for his country at Euro 2024 and is now a leading contender to join the Hammers ahead of Julen Lopetegui’s first campaign as manager.
West Ham retain interest in Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, but a £35million bid was rejected despite an agreement over personal terms.
Duran is hopeful of leaving Villa this summer in search of more game time but has now seen potential moves to both Chelsea and West Ham stall.
The Hammers have therefore turned their attention to other targets and Standard Sport understands they have entered talks over a possible deal for Fullkrug.
