Conor Coady: Centre-back ready to ‘give absolutely everything’ to Everton after completing loan deal

England centre-back Conor Coady has signed for Everton from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan and is ready to ‘give everything’ to the Goodison Park cause.

Ben Godfrey suffered a fractured foot in the defeat, while Yerry Mina limped off with an ankle problem.

And speaking about his return to Merseyside, Coady could not hide his excitment.

“I’m here to give absolutely everything I’ve got for this football club. It’s important I work as hard as I can to help my
