Everton sign Real Madrid winger Drenthe

Everton have clinched the signing of Real Madrid wing-back Royston Drenthe.

The exciting winger, still only 24, arrives on a season long loan from the Spanish giants and offers extra pace and flair to the Blues squad.

The Dutchman, who can also operate at full-back, shot to prominence after being named player of the tournament in the 2007 European Under-21 championships, which Holland won.

He also competed in the 2008 Olympics and went on to gain his first full international cap in November 2010.

That success prompted a €14m move to the Bernabeu from boyhood club Feyenoord.
