Everton's £45m club-record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson paraded on the pitch before Hajduk Split Europa League tie

Gylfi Sigurdsson has been paraded in front of his new fans as Everton's new £45m club-record signing took to the Goodison Park pitch prior to the Europa League clash against Hajduk Split.

Sigurdsson completed his move from Swansea to the Toffees on Wednesday night and was forced to watch from the stands during the first leg of the play-off clash against the Croatian outfit.

The Icelandic midfielder kept a dignified silence during protracted transfer negotiations between the two Premier League clubs, and he was given a very warm welcome at his new home by those in attendance on Thursday night.
