Everton sign Southampton's Martina on free transfer

Ronald Koeman will reunite with the former Saints right-back after the 27-year-old signed on a three-year deal at Goodison Park

Everton have announced the signing of Cuco Martina on a free transfer from Southampton, the right-back reuniting with former Saints boss Ronald Koeman.

The 27-year-old has agreed a three-year contract with Everton, becoming the latest fresh face at Goodison Park in a busy transfer window for Koeman's men.

Wayne Rooney has completed a return to Everton after 13 years at Manchester United, while big-money signings include Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane and Davy Klaassen.

Martina will add to Everton's defensive options as regular right-back Seamus Coleman continues to recover from a broken leg sustained on international duty with Republic of Ireland in March.
