Stanley Mills is moving back to Oxford United this month but this time it’s on a permanent basis after Everton agreed to sell the versatile player to the U’s.
Mills was on loan with Oxford last season when he suffered a serious knee injury that prematurely ended his spell there and forced him to return to Merseyside for his rehabilitation.
It had been expected that Mills, the son of former Leeds and Manchester City defender, Danny and a hugely promising Academy prospect, would be farmed out on another loan this month following his recent return to training but he is now set to leave Everton.
The fee that takes Mills south is undisclosed.
