He is hoping that joining Everton will offer him better game time under the tutelage of coach Sean Dyche. The youngster is expected to remain at the club until June 30, 2027.

“We’re pleased to add Tim to our midfield options,” the Everton manager said.

“He is a young player who is still learning and developing but clearly has a lot of the qualities we want in that area of the pitch.”

Tim Iroegbunam noted: “Everton is an amazing club, a big club and I’m just really happy to join and I can’t wait to get started.

“It was a move that I didn’t want to pass by. I wanted to take the opportunity.”
