Everton have brought midfielder Thomas Gravesen back to the club on a season-long loan from SPL champions Celtic.
The 31-year-old Denmark international has fallen down the pecking order at Parkhead, having moved to Scotland from Real Madrid in the summer of 2006.
Gravesen had joined Real in January 2005 from the Toffees, after scoring 12 goals in 155 appearances for the Merseysiders.
"I have always said I would never want to come back to any other club in England other than Everton," Gravesen told the club's official website.
"This is a great feeling. I have been privileged to wear this shirt before, but over the last few years Everton has improved a lot.
"Some fantastic players have come into the squad now and I am pleased to be here, that is for sure.
"It is always difficult to come back to a place, but I hope it goes well.
"I will definitely do my part and for me it is very important for me to prove myself after being given another chance in the blue shirt."
