Everton have announced the departure of Brendan Galloway to Sunderland on a season-long loan.
The 21-year-old moved to Goodison Park from MK Dons in 2014, and after a spell in the development side, made his first-team debut in May 2015.
Under manager Ronald Koeman last season, Galloway was sent to West Bromwich Albion on a temporary deal, but he made just three Premier League appearances.
Now, the England Under-21 international has dropped down a league to play for Sunderland in the Championship.
