"?Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu has officially left the club on loan for AC Milan. The Premier League side confirmed the expected move on Monday afternoon, with Deulofeu to spend the remainder of the 2016/17 season in Italy.
The former Barcelona starlet, who joined the Toffees in 2015 having previously spent the 2013/14 on loan at Goodison Park, has been in and out of manager Ronald Koeman's team.

He hasn't featured in the Premier League since 10th December against Watford - his only 90 minutes of the season so far - and started fewer than half of his 13 appearances in all competitions.
The 22-year-old joins a Milan side that currently sit seventh in the Serie A standings. The Rossoneri have won just one of their last five league outings to fall off the pace after threatening to challenge higher up the table and potentially even return to the Champions League next season. They claimed an Italian Super Cup with a win over Juventus last month.
It is hoped the pace of Deulofeu will inject some fresh energy at the red half of the San Siro.
