David Moyes has ended a summer of frustration by shattering Everton’s transfer record to sign Standard Liege midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The Goodison outfit beat the midnight transfer deadline by capturing the highly-rated Belgium international on a five-year contract for a club record amount of £13million.

The deal was still to be rubber-stamped when the Daily Post went to press in the early hours of this morning.

But Everton are confident the transfer will go through for a fee that eclipses the £11.25m they splashed out to sign Yakubu from Middlesbrough 12 months ago.

Earlier in the day, Everton had completed the signing of Louis Saha from Manchester United and veteran Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Carlo Nash.
