SKY CONFIRM: Everton Agree £1.6m Deal With Leeds United for Patrick Bamford
Sky Sports has confirmed that Everton have reached an agreement with Leeds United to sign striker Patrick Bamford for a fee of £1.6 million. The 30-year-old forward, who has spent the last seven seasons at Elland Road, will now make a move back to the Premier League following Leeds’ failure to secure promotion.
Bamford, known for his intelligent movement and link-up play, will bring valuable top-flight experience to Sean Dyche’s side as they look to strengthen their attacking options. Although injuries have disrupted his recent seasons, Everton see the modest transfer fee as a low-risk opportunity to bolster their depth up front.
The move is expected to be finalised in the coming days, pending a medical and personal terms agreement. Bamford becomes Everton’s first senior signing of the summer window as the club seeks to rebuild and avoid another relegation battle.
