Joe Williams leaves Everton after signing a transfer agreement

Joe Williams made a permanent move to Wigan Athletic.

Everton agreed to pay a fee to the championship club on Tuesday after the rejection of an initial offer this weekend.

Williams finalized the personal conditions and put pen to paper earlier in the day.

The 22-year-old, sought after by other championship clubs and Bundesliga teams, chose to move to the DW stadium where he joined Antonee Robinson, who left the Blues for Wigan earlier this summer. part of a contract that is worth £ 2m.

Everton and Wigan have not revealed the fees agreed for Williams, but it is thought that the midfielder will have cost more than Robinson.

Williams had spent the start of the pre – season with Marco Silva 's first team and had scored the decisive goal against Kariobangi Sharks in the friendly opening match of summer in Kenya.

But with the return of André Gomes on a permanent basis and the arrival of Fabian Delph of Manchester City, Williams expected to find difficult opportunities.
