Sunderland have signed Everton striker Nathan Broadhead on loan for the rest of the season.

The 23-year-old made his Premier League debut for the Toffees as a substitute against Brighton in April.

He previously spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Burton Albion, where he scored three goals in 22 appearances.

"It's a coup because he's had top level offers in Europe, and Championship offers as well, at what is a key stage of his career," said boss Lee Johnson.

"We believe that Sunderland is the perfect opportunity, as he will have the team, supply and service, and a Premier League environment around him, so it is a really good match."

Broadhead came through the Everton academy and made his first senior appearance as a substitute in their Europa League game against Apollon Limassol in December 2017.

"I've had a good pre-season, training and playing for the first team and travelling with them to America, and I'm sure that will help me hit the ground running," he told the Sunderland website.

The Wales Under-21 international could make his debut at former club Burton on Tuesday evening.
