Everton confirm Henen deal

Everton have announced the signing of Belgian forward David Henen from Olympiakos on a season-long loan.

The Premier League club confirmed the deal on Tuesday morning (local time) and said the deal was done before the transfer window closed on Monday’s 23:00 BST deadline.

The 18-year-old Henen moved from Anderlecht to Olympiakos on Monday before immediately signing a loan deal with the Goodison Park outfit.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez told the club’s official website: “As we had said previously, he’s someone whose potential we recognised and at this stage he will go into the Under-21 development squad.

“We [are] looking forward to working with him this season.”

Henen is a Belgium youth international.
