Everton FC manager David Moyes has bolstered his squad with the capture of experienced German goalkeeper Stefan Wessels from 1. FC Köln.
'Very exciting league'
The 28-year-old has signed a one-year deal at Goodison Park after leaving the German second-division side on a free transfer. "It is the first time I have played for a club outside of Germany but the English Premier League is a very exciting league and I am looking forward to my time here at Everton," said Wessels, who played 96 league games for Köln. He will provide experienced cover for Everton's first-choice keeper Tim Howard following the summer departure of Richard Wright to West Ham United FC. Everton will enter the UEFA Cup in the first round on 20 September.
