Calciomercato in casa Toffees, arriva un colpo esperto che non ha bisogno di presentazioni. Ashley Young un colpo esperto passato anche in Italia con L’Inter dove ha vinto uno scudetto con Antonio Conte.
Il comunicato del club che annuncia il matrimonio:
Ashley Young has become Everton’s first signing of the summer on a free transfer, agreeing a one-year deal until the end of June 2024.
The former England international, who has 39 caps for the Three Lions, adds valuable experience and versatility to Sean Dyche’s squad and arrives boasting a trophy-laden career which has included winning the Premier League, Serie A, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.
With the ability to play on either wing in the first part of his career at Watford and Aston Villa, Young developed into a wing-back and full-back during nine years at Manchester United – where he was appointed club captain in 2019 – before moving on to Inter Milan and becoming only the third Englishman to win Italy’s top-flight title.
A regular starter at left wing-back alongside new Everton teammate Jordan Pickford in England’s run to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, Young returned to Villa Park in 2021 and spent a further two years with the Midlands club until the expiry of his contract in June.
Young has made 422 Premier League appearances and ranks 15th in the competition’s all-time assists with 71.
After moving to Everton to work with Dyche, who captained Young when the new signing was a teenager at Watford, the 38-year-old told evertontv: “I’m delighted to be an Everton player and to have joined this massive club. I can’t wait for the season to start and walking out at Goodison Park is going to be an unbelievable feeling and to hear the passionate fans behind me.
La sua carriera, da ricordare per chi non lo sapesse che il calciatore è stato diverse volte protagonista con la maglia della nazionale Inglese:
2003-2007 Watford
2007-2011 Aston Villa
2011-2020 Manchester Utd
