Coleman connection
Davies joined Fulham for a fee in the region of €3.7m, just 20 months after moving to Everton from Tottenham Hotspur FC. He made 45 Premiership appearances for the Liverpool-based club and will now seek to kick-start his career under the tutelage of Fulham boss Chris Coleman, his former Wales team-mate.
Striking blow
Forward McFadden, meanwhile, faces time on the sidelines for both Everton and Scotland after the 23-year-old fractured a metatarsal bone while playing head tennis in training on Wednesday. The Merseysiders are already missing England striker Andy Johnson until March due to an ankle injury.
