"We wanted to bring in a strong player in the central defence position, a player who knows the Premier League and Ashley fits the bill for us very well," Everton manager Ronald Koeman said. “He is an experienced defender and the kind of player we need in the team. He is a leader. He showed this at Swansea and he has shown it for his country and he is looking forward to his new challenge here at Everton.
