He Everton has made official the signing of Damaris Egurrola for the next two seasons. The former Athletic player thus becomes the English club's seventh acquisition for this season. The left-handed midfielder has not yet been able to train with her new teammates as she is in quarantine, as coach Blue himself has revealed.
The Everton coach, Willie Krik, has assured on the club's official website that “When I was presented with the opportunity to sign Damaris, it was an opportunity that we simply could not turn down. It is another great signing for us and another sign of our ambition and intention. She is already at a very good level, a fact demonstrated by having been with the Spanish senior team at a young age. Its potential simply has no ceiling “.
The manager of the blue team is clear that “Damaris may be a world-class midfielder in the future. She is is very ambitious and will fit in perfectly. It adds a good balance to a midfield that is already very talented and gives us good options.
Krik has further indicated that “Damaris is currently in quarantine, so when she joins the group she will be a little behind everyone else having missed our entire preseason.but we will work with her for the next few weeks and she will be in action asap. “
Damaris, who turned 21, decided to reject Athletic's renewal proposal. At first it seemed that he was going to sign for Barça, but the existing conflict over the compensation list included in the women's football collective agreement has finally led the ex-rojiblanca to England, thus avoiding the compensation requested by Athletic as a right to training.
