Tom Davies’ departure from Everton has been confirmed.
The midfielder has opted to reject a new contract at the Toffees as he seeks regular football elsewhere.
Davies made 179 appearances for his boyhood club, scoring seven goals. But he leaves Goodison Park at the age of 24 looking to reignite his career.
The Everton academy graduate joins Yerry Mina, Andros Townsend and Asmir Begovic who also depart at the end of their respective deals.
But there could well be more exits from Sean Dyche’s side before the summer transfer window shuts. The Blues have a number of fringe players the may look to offload, several youngsters who could head out on loan - and a key start who has already reportedly attracted interest.
