Everton complete signing for Man City defender Eliaquim Mangala on loan
Mangala has played nine Premier League games for the runaway leaders City this season but has not featured in a league fixture in 2018.
The 26-year-old signed for City from Porto for £32m in the summer of 2014.
Mangala, who has been capped 8 times by France, struggled to force his way into City’s star-studded back line and was loaned out to Valencia last season where he secured a regular starting role.

Mangala’s underwhelming stint at the Etihad has gone unnoticed this season with limited game time. His playing time was set to be further affected by the arrival of big-money signing Aymeric Laporte on Tuesday.
Mangala offers a strong defensive depth for Everton especially after the club started to see the fatigue of their English defender Phil Jagielka.
This deal could work well for both the parties in the future with Everton willing to pay up the asking price after the 2017/18 season.
