Everton signed Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers to provide competition for England’s No. 1 Jordan Pickford.
Travers’ move was confirmed today, with Toffees paying undisclosed fees and the player signing a four-year contract.
The 26-year-old joined Bournemouth in 2016 but has made only 82 appearances in nine years, with loaned Middlesbrough at Weymouth, Swinton and Stoke, who played him in the second half of last season.

Travers said: “I’m very proud and excited to be an Everton player. Come in and you can feel how big this club is and the history that comes with it. You really feel that the fan base, the new stadium is now the direction of the club.
“It’s a new beginning for me, and try a new chapter here.
“This is to be part of this big football club and I can’t wait to go.”
“Jordan is great”
Pickford is the established No. 1, but Travers hopes to push the former Sunderland all the way.
He added: “Jordan [Pickford] He is an outstanding goalkeeper in the club and the country. I look forward to competing with everyone here and becoming a Premier League player.
“In this environment, we will work hard on each other every day in training, and whatever happens on the weekend, we will get along with each other and make the most of every opportunity.
“It’s always exciting to work with a new group and be able to help young lads. I’ll do everything I can. I’ll be proud to do the right thing on the court and on the court and represent the club with great pride.”
