Everton sign Villarreal striker Barry for £27m

Everton have completed the signing of Thierno Barry from Villarreal for £27m.

The France Under-21 striker has signed a four-year contract with the Toffees until the end of June 2029.

Barry had a £34.5m release clause in his Villarreal contract, but Everton negotiated a lower fee for the 22-year-old, who scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 38 games last season as the Spanish club finished fifth in La Liga to qualify for the Champions League.

He will add to Everton's attacking resources after Dominic Calvert-Lewin left at the end of his contract.
