Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala 'thrilled' after completing loan move to Everton

Eliaquim Mangala has completed his loan move to Everton from Manchester City, subject to Premier League clearance.

The Frenchman joined City in 2014 from Porto for £32million, but following the record arrival of Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao, his opportunities at the Etihad Stadium looked thin.

Mangala's availability will await clearance from league officials with his move crossing the line after Wednesday's midnight deadline.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to play for Everton and I cannot wait to pull on the royal blue jersey for the first time and give my all for the supporters," Mangala told Everton's official website.
