Everton have roped in former England full back Ashley Young on a one-year deal, the Merseyside club announced on Thursday.
Young, who spent nine years at Manchester United, is a winner of the Premier League, Serie A, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.
The 38-year-old became only the third Englishman to win Italy's top-flight title after moving to Inter Milan in 2020. He was at Aston Villa, who did not renew his contract when it expired last month, during the last two months.
“I'm delighted to be an Everton player and to have joined this massive club. I can’t wait for the season to start and walking out at Goodison Park is going to be an unbelievable feeling and to hear the passionate fans behind me.
“The manager was important in me signing. I know him and know what his passion and desire is like. His honesty, will to work hard and his hunger for the game is second to none,” Young told evertontv.
“I know things haven’t gone too well for Everton in the past couple of seasons but the manager’s ambition, speaking to him and hearing what he wants to do to change the Club around, was a key factor in my decision.
“The other is the size of Everton. It’s a massive club and the fanbase is one of the best. Having them behind me is a fantastic opportunity. I'm delighted to get the opportunity to be here and I just want to get started now.”
Young has made 422 Premier League appearances and has 71 assists against his name.
Everton finished 17th in the Premier League — one spot above the relegation zone — last season.
