Everton striker Ellis Simms has completed a loan move to Sunderland and will spend the 2022/23 on loan with the Championship club.
Simms, who signed a new contract with the Blues in November, enjoyed an impressive spell with Hearts during the second half of the last campaign.
A number of clubs have been chasing the forward throughout the summer, but he has opted to move to Sunderland, having also received interest from Blackpool and Hearts.
