Everton wrap up £2m deal for Barnsley youngster John Stones
EVERTON ended a week of frustration by sealing a £2m deal for John Stones of Barnsley.
Wigan were able to offer Stones immediate Premier League football, but the chance to join Everton proved too good an opportunity to turn down.
The capture came after an £8.6m deal for FC Twente midfielder Leroy Fer collapsed due to a knee injury, and interest in Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo was rebuffed by the Spaniards.
Magaye Gueye has joined French side Brest on loan.
