Arteta's arrival boosts Everton
Monday, 31 January 2005
Everton FC have signed Spanish midfield player Mikel Arteta on loan from Real
Sociedad de Fútbol.

View to permanent transfer
Arteta was in Liverpool at the weekend to undergo a medical and arrives with
a view to a permanent transfer costing around 4m in the summer. The
22-year-old has played in British football before, spending two seasons with
Rangers FC from 2002 until last summer, when he returned to his home city of
San Sebastian to join Real.

Financial problems
However, Arteta has struggled to establish himself at Real and the Basque
club's financial problems mean they were prepared to let him go just six
months into a four-year contract. As a teenager, Arteta was nurtured in FC
Barcelona's youth teams but spent 18 months on loan to Paris Saint-Germain FC
in France prior to moving to Rangers.

Replacement for Gravesen
Everton, fourth in the English Premiership and chasing a European place for
next season, were looking for a creative midfield player to replace Danish
international Thomas Gravesen, who left for Real Madrid CF earlier in the
month.
