Everton have signed defender Mason Holgate from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.
The 18-year-old, who made 22 appearances for the Tykes after making his debut last December, has penned a five-year deal with Everton.
"With Mason, an opportunity came up and we didn’t want to lose out. He is a young man with a very impressive future," Toffees manager Roberto Martinez told the club website.
“I feel that we are the perfect place in order for Mason to develop into a top footballer. I know that he is a player who can bring us something quite unique, so we are excited about that possibility, even though he is one for the future rather than now.”
