Everton have brought former goalkeeper Asmir Begovic back to the Club, with the Bosnian singing a one-year deal.
The 37-year-old was a free agent having spent last season in the Championship with Queens Park Rangers but has returned to Goodison Park a year after his contract with the Blues expired following the departure of veteran reserve keeper, Andy Lonergan.
It is not thought that Begovic has come in as the No.2 reserve keeper; rather he would likely fill Lonergan’s role as support and training assistance for Jordan Pickford and Joao Virginia.
His presence, however, would allow Everton to farm the likes of Billy Crellin and Harry Tyrer back out on loan to continue their development.
Begovic first signed for the Blues in the summer of 2021 and made 10 appearances in all competitions, most of them in cup competition.
