Everton have confirmed the permanent exit of Nathan Broadhead who has joined Ipswich Town for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old was sent on loan to Wigan Athletic for the 2022-23 season but he was recalled early from his spell by the Blues. He featured in 22 Championship appearances for the Latics, with five goals to his name.
Broadhead progressed through the youth ranks of Everton to make his competitive debut in December 2017. He struggled to find more playing time at Goodison Park and mostly remained on loan to other clubs.
The young forward’s first loan stint came at Burton Albion where he made 22 appearances and registered three goals.
He was loaned out to Sunderland for the 2021-22 season, helping the Black Cats achieve promotion from League One. The Welsh footballer played in 27 matches across all competitions, with 13 goals to his name.
Broadhead has now sealed a permanent move to Ipswich who also compete in the third tier.
The Tractor Boys are currently sitting third in the League One table and will be looking to earn promotion to the Championship.
More departures likely
Everton are massively struggling in the Premier League with Frank Lampard facing huge pressure at the moment.
They have dropped into the relegation zone following their home loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Toffees will be looking to bring in reinforcements in a bid to survive in the top-flight. However, that means they will also have to offload some players this month.
The Merseyside club could sell Michael Keane or Abdoulaye Doucoure in this transfer window, while Yerry Mina has also been linked with an exit.
