Everton have announced the signing of right-back Nathan Patterson from Rangers on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

Joining for an undisclosed 'club record' fee, the 20-year-old Scotland international becomes the Toffees' second signing of the transfer window, following Ukraine left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko's arrival from Dynamo Kiev.

Patterson, a Rangers academy product, made his senior debut for the Glasgow outfit in January 2020 and has played 25 times for them in total.

Patterson, who has six international caps, told evertontv: "I'm over the moon to sign for Everton and looking forward to getting started.

"It was an easy choice to sign. This is a massive club with huge history and the fanbase is tremendous.

"Obviously we aren't in the place where we want to be right now but we can definitely get there with the talent in the changing room and staff here, and I have full belief we can do that."
