Everton have signed England winger Katie Robinson on loan from Aston Villa, with an option to buy clause.

Robinson, who joined Villa on a free transfer from Brighton in 2024, is the Toffees’ sixth signing of the summer.

The 22-year-old made 16 appearances in all competitions for Villa last season but only started five matches under new manager Natalia Arroyo between January and May.

Robinson said she is excited to join the Women’s Super League club, as Everton manager Brian Sorensen is “very clear on his identity for the team”.

“That is really important for me – to be a part of a club that has that clear vision,” she told Evertonfc.com.

Robinson impressed during her time at Brighton and is considered a young forward with high potential.

She was the youngest member of Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses squad that reached the Women’s World Cup final two years ago.

“She is a direct forward who loves to take her marker on,” Sorensen said.

Spanish forward Ornella Vignola, Netherlands midfielder Rosa van Gool and Japan internationals Rion Ishikawa, Hikaru Kitagawa and Yuka Momiki have also signed for Everton this summer.

Meanwhile, the Toffees have confirmed 27-year-old Greece winger Veatriki Sarri has left the club to join Birmingham City on a permanent transfer.
