Everton have completed the signing of Thierno Barry from Spanish side Villarreal for an undisclosed fee.
The France Under-21 international striker has signed a four-year contract with the Blues, keeping him at the Club until the end of June 2029.
A powerful 6ft 5in forward, Barry joined Villarreal last summer from Swiss side FC Basel. The Frenchman quickly adapted to LaLiga, scoring 11 goals – including a hat-trick at Leganes in December – to help the Yellow Submarine to a fifth-placed finish and qualification for the Champions League.
Barry – as he prefers to be called – followed that impressive campaign by helping France Under-21s reach the semi-finals of the European Championships this summer, including netting a crucial stoppage-time winner against Georgia in the group stages.
