Everton have signed Dutchman Royston Drenthe from Real Madrid on a season-long loan, but Jermaine Beckford has joined Leicester.The versatile, left-sided 24-year-old joined Madrid from Feyenoord in 2007 but struggled to tie down a first-team berth at the Bernabeu and spent last season on loan at Hercules.
He is likely to be asked to perform a midfield role as Leighton Baines is an automatic first choice at left-back.
Drenthe's deal went through late on along with another season-long loan for striker Denis Stracqualursi from Argentinian side Tigres.
The Toffees did not officially sign the pair until late on deadline day as there were primarily departures from Goodison Park.
Those came in the form of Mikel Arteta, unexpectedly to Arsenal, with Ayegbeni Yakubu set to complete a permanent move to Barclays Premier League rivals Blackburn.
Leicester City also confirmed in the early hours of Thursday that they had signed striker Beckford on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Beckford, 27, signed for Everton from Leeds last summer and scored eight Premier League goals in 34 appearances last season.
