Why Signing Lucas Digne From Barcelona Is a Statement of Intent From Everton

With the transfer window closing before the Premier League kicks off this season, sides are under more pressure than ever to get their business done early and improve their squads before the first fixtures starting August 10.

The Toffees are no exception, as new manager Marco Silva looks to make an immediate impression and push Everton further towards the European places by the end of the season.

After completing the signing of former Watford star Richarlison for a fee rising to £50m, Everton are now on the verge of completing another ambitious signing, namely Barcelona left-back Lucas Digne.
