Everton today added Andre Gomes on loan from Barcelona.
The player will wear the #8 shirt for the Toffees, after previously wearing the #21 for both Barcelona and Valencia before that. He wore the #30 for Benfica when he played in Portugal. In his last Portuguese national team appearance in late 2017, he wore the #15 jersey.
