Everton fans on Twitter: Welcoming Gylfi Sigurdsson & discussing Ross Barkley’s future
One of the longest transfer sagas of the summer has come to an end after Everton announced the signing of Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson on Wednesday evening.
The Iceland international had a stellar season for the Swans and a move to a bigger club looked inevitable. His nine goals and 13 assists helped keep Swansea in the Premier League, and losing him will worry their fan base.
Yet, Everton fans will not care about that and, instead, they will be delighted to welcome the 27-year-old into their side. He joins on a five-year deal for a club record fee, as announced by the Toffees’ .
His arrival caused a stir on Twitter, with fans welcoming him to the club, while rival supporters utilised their opportunity to make a comment also.
The Icelandic man’s arrival also led to many feeling that the end of Ross Barkley’s Everton career is near.
The Englishman, who made 36 Premier League appearances last season, has been strongly linked with a move away from the Merseyside club this summer, with the reporting that Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal are interested in signing him.
Both Sigurdsson and his new teammate have been hot topics on social media. Here’s what Twitter has had to say about the two hot subjects:
Everton fans were happy to see the Iceland international sign…

Yet this supporter was not too sure…
It's clear that we've overpaid for Sigurdsson, however it seems in this transfer window what Koeman wants Koeman gets.

The Icelandic man’s arrival led to discussion about Barkley’s future…
Would have given him Barkley’s number personally,he’s made it clear he doesn’t want to be here unless Koeman hasn’t given up hope in him.
