Everton have completed the signing of England centre-back Conor Coady on a season-long loan.
“As soon as I heard the interest, I really wanted to be a part of it right away. I’m about to join,” Coady said.
The Merseyside-born 29-year-old will wear the number 30 shirt for Everton.
The Liverpool academy product was on the bench for Wolves’ first game of the season at Elland Road, with manager Bruno Lage preferring Max Kilman and Nathan Collins in a two-man central defence.
He joined Wolves from Huddersfield in 2015 and has made over 300 appearances for the Molineux club.
Coady is Everton’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window after fellow centre-back James Tarkowski, former Wolves team-mate Rúben Vinagre and striker Dwight McNeil.
“As well as being one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League and an England international, his leadership skills will be of great benefit to us,” said Lampard.
