Everton sign Roma midfielder Kramzar

Roma midfielder Zara Kramzar has signed for Everton on loan for the rest of the season.

In the contract, there is an obligation-to-buy clause which the Toffees would be expected to fulfil in the summer.

The 20-year-old Slovenian international has spent the last year on loan at Italian club Como.

After sealing her move to the Toffees on the final day of the Women's Super League transfer window, Kramžar – who will wear the number 21 shirt – told evertontv:

"I feel so excited. I think we all worked a lot for this. I am happy to be here and start my journey.

"I can't wait. I am really looking forward to playing at Goodison Park and seeing the fans. I am excited to learn a lot about Everton.

"I like to play in big stadiums. I am looking forward to it and to score goals in front of the fans and to leave everything on the pitch for them and for the Club."

"I am proud," Kramžar continued. "It is nice to be the first Slovenian in the WSL. I am excited to show on the pitch what I can do now.

"I enjoyed playing in Italy but I've always wanted to go to England, I think it is the best league in the world. I am excited to see the level here.

"I would like to take Everton as high as I can and help the team. Maybe we can achieve some trophies in the future.

"It is a big club, of course, that has a lot of history. I think Everton can help me progress on and off the pitch."
