Everton have wrapped up the signing of French U-21 striker Thierno Barry from Villarreal for a reported £27 million, strengthening their forward line ahead of the new campaign. Thierno Barry, 22, arrives on a four-year deal that will keep him at Goodison Park until June 2029.

Thierno Barry has seemingly confirmed he is set to join Everton. The Villarreal forward has posted a farewell message to the club on his Instagram account. The striker flew in to Merseyside on Tuesday to undergo a medical.

Former Wales captain Gareth Bale and England striker Callum Wilson both praised Joao Pedro's performance for Chelsea against Fluminense. Bale told DAZN: "It's not just the goals, it's the link-up play, it's the passing, it's the vision. It was a great all-round performance.
