Everton have completed deals to sign Wigan midfielder
James McCarthy and Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
McCarthy joins for a fee in the region of £12million,
while Lukaku makes the move to Goodison Park on loan.
Everton had been linked with Republic of Ireland
international McCarthy for some time but the transfer appeared to be off after
Latics chairman Dave Whelan baulked at the idea of the fee being paid in
instalments.
A deal has now been thrashed out though and the
22-year-old will be back playing in the Premier League having been relegated
with Athletic last season.
Meanwhile, Everton boss Roberto Martinez has boosted his
attacking options after beating West Brom to the loan signing of Belgium
international Lukaku.
Chelsea had initially indicated they would not be letting
him leave Stamford Bridge after he impressed on loan at The Hawthorns last
season.
Lukaku has played in three of Chelsea's four matches this
season but Jose Mourinho has allowed him to make the temporary move to
Merseyside, despite West Brom appearing keen to take him back to the West
Midlands.
