Andre Gomes has bid an emotional farewell to Everton after completing his move to Lille.
The 29-year-old’s season-long loan was confirmed on Thursday evening - just minutes before the 11pm transfer deadline - after falling down the pecking order following the arrivals of James Garner and Idrissa Gueye. Gomes was used sparingly in Frank Lampard’s battle against relegation last season and is yet to feature so far this campaign.
The two deadline day signings joined the likes of Amadou Onana as summer midfield reinforcements, with a rejuvenated Alex Iwobi, Tom Davies and Abdoulaye Doucoure - currently injured - all ahead of the Portuguese midfielder in Lampard’s plans. And after his last-gasp move to France, Gomes bid farewell to Evertonians.
