Lucas Digne is joining Everton from Barcelona on a five-year deal.
The 25-year-old Frenchman took to Twitter to share the news.
Very proud to join the Everton’s family 🔵🔵🔵 let’s go 😋 #EFC pic.twitter.com/a4ZcDTjuST

Speaking on evertontv, he said: “Everton is a big club with a great history. I want to play games, win games and excite the fans with the quality of our football.”
However, eagle-eyes fans have noticed Digne appears to have “I Never Walk Alone” tattooed on his body – a phrase that is remarkably similar to Liverpool’s club motto “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

But others are quick to point out the semantics…
everton' I never walk alone' is NOT the same as YNWAhe also turned down l/pool in 2016. to sign for PSG.

Does it not t say “I never walk alone” not you’ll never walk alone?

Pretty sure Liverpool’s is ‘ you’ll never walk alone’! I think where safe!
