Everton have completed the signing of Segundo Castillo.
The midfielder joins on a season-long loan from Red Star Belgrade.
Castillo passed a medical at Finch Farm on Thursday and subsequently received a work permit from the Home Office.
He then put pen to paper on the deal and became Everton's second signing of the summer.
The Ecuadorian is a defensive midfielder who played for El Nacional and El Deportivo Espoli in his homeland before heading for Eastern Europe. He will wear the number 8 jersey this season.
Everton must now wait to see if international clearance for the player is received in time for him to feature against Portsmouth on Saturday.
After signing, Castillo told evertonTV: "I know that Everton are a big club who have a history of playing in important competitions like the Uefa Cup.
"I hope I can do my best for the team."
evertonTV will bring you the full, exclusive interview with the new man later this evening.
