The Frenchman has ‘I Never Walk Alone’ inked across his chest.
Lucas Digne is joining Everton from Barcelona on a five-year deal.
The 25-year-old Frenchman took to Twitter to share the news.

Speaking on evertontv, he said: “Everton is a big club with a great history. I want to play games, win games and excite the fans with the quality of our football.”
However, eagle-eyes fans have noticed Digne appears to have “I Never Walk Alone” tattooed on his body – a phrase that is remarkably similar to Liverpool’s club motto “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

Some fans appear to be convinced there’s a subliminal message…

But others are quick to point out the semantics…

Digne has an impressive CV having begun his career at Lille before moving on to Paris St Germain, Roma and then Barcelona, for whom he made 46 appearances in two seasons.
TOKYO (AP) — Kazuyoshi Miura, the Japanese soccer player they call “King Kazu,” says he’s only getting better with age.
If so, that should make him very, very good.
Miura turns 59 next month. He’s the globe’s oldest professional soccer player, and on Friday he gave a news conference in Tokyo to celebrate joining his new team — third-division J-League club Fukushima United FC.
“My passion only grows the more I pursue it,” Miura said. “Even though I’m getting older — I’ll be 59 this year — I feel my passion is actually increasing.”
Miura is moving on loan from Yokohama FC and spent last season on loan with fourth-division club Atletico Suzuka.
He failed to score in seven matches with Suzuka.
Miura has played professionally in Brazil, Italy, Croatia, Australia and Portugal. And of course in Japan. He made his debut in 1986 with Santos in Brazil, a club made famous by Brazilian star Pelé.
In 2017 at age 50, he became the oldest player to score in a professional match. That topped the record held by highly decorated England international Stanley Matthews.
Miura was one of the first big names in Japanese soccer. He scored 55 goals in 89 appearance for Japan’s national team in the 1990s.
“I have a strong desire to play in matches and perform well,” he said. “So I’ll prepare thoroughly and give everything I have to accomplish that.”
