Brazilian reunites at Goodison with former Napoli coach
Allan joins club ‘with a rich history and real ambition’

Everton have completed the signing of the Napoli midfielder Allan for a fee of £22m plus £2.6m in add-ons, with the Brazilian agreeing a three-year deal until the end of June 2023.

The 29-year-old played 61 games under Carlo Ancelotti when the Everton manager was in charge of Napoli and has nine senior caps for his country, having won the Copa América alongside his new teammate Richarlison last year. Allan said he could not turn down the opportunity to work with the Italian again and join a club “with a rich history and real ambition”.
