Everton have decided against triggering a £4.5 million option to sign Conor Coady from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Blues have confirmed that Coady will re-join the Molineux club after making 25 appearances and scoring two goals during his time at Goodison Park. The defender’s final start for the club came in Sunday’s all-important 1-0 win over Bournemouth.
Coady was surprisingly allowed to move on loan to Goodison in the summer after seven seasons at Molineux in which he barely missed a game. Then Wolves boss Bruno Lage sanctioned the deal amid reservations about whether the England international could play in a back four.
