Everton have confirmed the appointment of Steve Walsh as their new director of football.
Walsh arrives from Leicester having played a role in the club’s stunning Premier League title success last season.
The 51-year-old, who has previously held positions at Bury, Chester and Chelsea, will start work at Everton immediately.
The appointment of Walsh continues Everton’s summer revamp following the arrival of new investor Farhad Moshiri and manager Ronald Koeman.
Walsh boasts a strong reputation and was credited with recommending the signings of Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante during his time at Leicester City.
