Following his return to Merseyside, reported in the ECHO on Tuesday, Begovic told evertonfc.com: “I’m delighted to be back. It was an easy decision when the call came. I had two really good years here before and built special relationships with the staff and players.

“Everton has a way of leaving an imprint on you. The relationship I have with people here, how special the club is, the amazing fanbase, and with it being such a significant last season at Goodison means it’s a great time to be at the club.

“I’m looking forward to working with the keepers here again. Jordan a friend of mine for three years now and is someone I really respect. With Joao Virginia, Harry Tyrer, Billy Crellin and our Goalkeeper Coach, Billy Mercer, it’s a great group. The way we push each other on a daily basis brings the best out of us on matchdays.
