Niels Nkounkou has moved to Cardiff City on loan for the season.
The 21-year-old has made the switch after signing a new two-year deal with Everton. That agreement will keep him at the club until the end of June 2024.
He will play his football in the Championship this season, however, after the move to the Welsh capital was confirmed this morning.

Nkounkou, who joined the Blues from Marseille, spent last season on loan with Belgian club Standard Liege.
He travelled with the squad to the US for pre-season and started the first friendly of the summer, against Arsenal.
The left sided defender, a France Under-19 international, is behind Vitalii Mykolenko in Frank Lampard’s plans and has seen the arrival of left wing back Ruben Vinagre, on loan from Sporting, further reduce his opportunities in the first team for this campaign.
