31-8-11: Everton have signed Dutchman Royston Drenthe from Real Madrid on a season-long loan.
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.
