"It is an honour to be signing for the champions," the 21-year-old, who will wear the No.17 shirt, told the official Everton website.
"I relish the opportunity of playing with some of the best players in the world and continuing my development.

"The hard work starts today as I start to help contribute to the club winning more silverware.
"I have a special relationship with the [Everton] chairman, Mr [Bill] Kenwright, who did not want me to leave but this was an opportunity I could not refuse," Rodwell continued.
"I would like to place on record my thanks to everyone at Everton Football Club. The manager [David Moyes] has been brilliant for me and helped make me the player that I am today.
"I would like to place on record my thanks to him and all the coaching staff and players who have worked with me since I joined the academy as a seven-year-old.
"Finally I would like to thank all the fans who have been amazing during my years at Everton. I have enjoyed every minute of my time there and I wish everyone at the club the best of luck for the new season and beyond."
