Everton have apparently signed him on a season long loan from Barcelona. What a coup for them, IMO he will be a class act for them, and he is a big part of Barca's future plans aswell. Look forward to seeing him at the CCS.

WHO ARE YA? GERARD DEULOFEU (EVERTON)
POSTED BY ROB PARKER ON JULY 10, 2013 IN: EVERTON, SPAIN, TRANSFER TALK, WHO ARE YA?|POST COMMENT
Your whistle-stop guide to the latest Premier League arrivals
Name: Gerard Deulofeu
Age: 19
Position: Winger/Striker
Signed from: Barcelona
Fee: Season-long loan
Did you know?
Gerard Deulofeu was born on the day goals from Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler gave Liverpool a 2-1 win against Everton in the Merseyside derby: March 13, 1994.
Dave Watson was Everton’s scorer.
What’s the deal?
Everton have pipped a host of Premier League clubs to the talented Barca attacker. The 19-year-old is already a Spain under-21 international and tipped as one of the country’s hottest talents.
He spent last season starring for Barcelona B. The Catalans have trusted Roberto Martinez to continue the youngster’s development while Neymar hogs his place in the Barca first-team.
What do they say?
“He is a player with a lot to offer, but he still needs to improve a lot before he can form part of the Barca first team.”
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova

Superb signing. I've watched him a number of times for Spain U20s and U21s.
With Pienaar, Fellaini, Mirallas and now Delofeu, Everton's attacking midfield is top notch.

Agreed. They'll do very well next season. I can see them bringing in one or two more aswell.
