Everton are poised to make a sixth and final summer signing after concluding an agreement to bring Belgian international Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe to Goodison Park.

 

The deal was agreed immediately prior to Friday's 11pm transfer deadline with paperwork submitted to the Premier League and Football Association.

 

The transfer now needs to be rubber stamped by football's governing body FIFA – a process which will take place early next week.

 

The powerful Club Bruges midfielder will join on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy and will team up with international colleagues Marouane Fellaini and Kevin Mirallas at Goodison Park.

 

The 23-year-old 6ft 1in powerhouse started at Gent, moved to Anderlecht and joined Bruges from Bundesliga side Hamburg three years ago where he established himself as their midfield mainstay, making 117 appearances.

Being a Club Brugge fan, let me tell you this: Vadis Odjidja is often seen as the best all-round midfielder in the Belgian competition. He has plenty of talent and is still young. What you see in the videos is off course a selection of his best actions, but it gives you a pretty idea of what he typically does on the pitch.

 

I'll make a nuance though: ever since his injury halfway last season, he hasn't been exactly the same, though he's shown flashes of genius. He's had a lot of poor games, bad touches and seems to have lost some motivation and charisma in the games. Almost as if he didn't really feel like winning. I don't know what it was... off course he's had to deal with the loss of his foster mom. :( I recall that was a really sad moment.

 

If you can get him motivated and train him properly, you can get a lot out of the guy. Maybe a spell to Everton will do him good.

 

Right now I'm reading that the administrative part of the deal hasn't been finished yet and that it might have come too late to come true. I give it a 50% chance of happening. Even though I'm a Brugge fan, I hope it happens. It'll be good for Vadis, good for EFC and create opportunities for Club Brugge.

Ha ha ace! Spent last hour reading how gutted the red shite are at missing out on Dempsey!!!

 

What a way to revisit, know nothing about this lad but he's big, Belgian and can make our felli very happy. Great window blues, best in recent memory.

 

3 words stuck out to me. Big, Belgian, Blue. Have we signed a bull?
