Ruben Vinagre: Everton sign defender on season-long loan from Sporting

Vinagre is on a season-long loan fromSporting Lisbon.

The left-back spent last season on loan withSporting from Wolves before moving permanently in June.

The number 29 shirt will be worn by Vinagre, who becomes the second summer signing for the club.

Vinagre said joining a big club likeEverton was a dream come true.

I was excited to sign because of the chance to work with good players and a good coach.

A football legend is the manager. Everyone knows him and the chance to work with and learn from him and one of football's best left-backs is very important to me.

Vinagre was brought to England by Kevin Thelwell when he was at Wolves.

Vinagre said that Kevin knew him well from when they worked at Wolves.

He explained to me how important it is to give your all for the fans and that's what you need to do here.

Goodison Park is a difficult place to play in because of the atmosphere. It's great to be on the other side of the fence. I'm excited to start.
