Townsend announced as the summer s first signing Lyndon Lloyd Tuesday, 20 July, 2021
Everton have completed the acquisition of Andros Townsend on a free transfer from Crystal Palace, the first signing of Rafael Benitez s tenure as the Blues manager.
The 30-year-old winger agreed a two-year contract that would run through the end of June 2023, bringing to an end a five-year spell at Selhurst Park while renewing his association with Benitez who managed him briefly at Newcastle United in 2016.
Townsend explained that reuniting with his old boss and the prospect of playing for a “massive and ambitious” club like Everton meant that he could not turn down the chance to sign when it came up.

Keane said: “We hope something will be finalised over the next few days. Gary has come on board and we need extra numbers on the coaching side. Charlie McParland did a great job but because of family commitments he couldn’t commit to the club.
“I know Gary a little bit from [studying for] my Pro Licence and he worked with [fitness coach] Antonio Gomez at Liverpool.
