Ellis Simms has completed his move to Coventry City from Everton.
The 22-year-old has secured a move to the Midlands club for an unofficial fee, Everton have confirmed. The deal advanced after Coventry met the club’s valuation for the striker, which is thought to be between £6m-£8m.
Simms had been the subject of interest from a host of Championship clubs, including Sunderland, Swansea City and Ipswich Town. But Coventry, who missed out on promotion to the Premier League after defeat in the play-off final, won the battle for his signature after a breakthrough in negotiations in recent days.
