OFFICIAL: Matt O’Riley Successfully Completes Medical Ahead of Stunning Transfer to Everton

In what is shaping up to be one of the most eye-catching Premier League moves of the summer, Everton have officially confirmed that Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley has successfully completed his medical, paving the way for a stunning permanent transfer to Goodison Park. The 23-year-old Denmark international is now expected to sign a long-term contract, marking a major coup for the Merseyside club as they look to rebuild under manager Sean Dyche.

O’Riley, who enjoyed an exceptional 2023/24 season in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic, had long been linked with a move to the Premier League, but few anticipated that Everton would be the ones to win the race. Now, with personal terms all but agreed and formalities nearly completed, his arrival signifies a bold new chapter for the Toffees.


A Rising Star With European Experience

Matt O’Riley has developed into one of Europe’s most intelligent and versatile midfielders since his move to Celtic from MK Dons in January 2022. The former Fulham academy graduate rose through the ranks quietly before breaking through in Scotland, where his vision, passing range, and composure on the ball quickly made him a key player under both Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers.

During the 2023/24 campaign, O’Riley was widely regarded as one of the standout players in the Scottish Premiership, scoring 12 goals and providing 17 assists across all competitions. He also shone in the UEFA Champions League group stage, catching the eye of several English clubs with mature, confident performances against top opposition.

His consistent form earned him a call-up to the Denmark national team, and while he narrowly missed the final Euro 2024 squad, many believe he is on the brink of becoming a regular for his country.


Everton Make Their Statement

For Everton, who have endured turbulent years on and off the pitch, the acquisition of a player like O’Riley marks a major milestone. The club’s financial constraints and relegation battles have often limited their ambitions in the market, but the board — working closely with Director of Football Kevin Thelwell — has now secured a creative and technically gifted midfielder to strengthen a squad in need of reinvention.

The reported fee is believed to be in the region of £18 million, potentially rising with add-ons — a solid value considering O’Riley’s age, profile, and upside. He is expected to be a central figure in Dyche’s plans as Everton look to push back into the Premier League’s top half after years of stagnation.

Manager Sean Dyche spoke about the deal after Everton’s pre-season session:

“Matt’s the kind of player we need — intelligent, hard-working, and confident on the ball. He’s got experience beyond his years, and he’s hungry to prove himself in the Premier League. That’s the type of character we want at this club.”


Medical Completed, Announcement Imminent

Sources close to the club confirmed that O’Riley underwent and passed his medical examinations at Finch Farm earlier this week. He was spotted entering the training complex on Monday morning and spent several hours completing physical assessments and final discussions with club officials.

Now that the medical is complete and contractual terms are agreed, Everton are expected to announce the deal officially within the next 48 hours. A media unveiling and introductory interview are already being prepared.

O’Riley will join Everton’s first-team squad ahead of their upcoming pre-season tour in the United States, where he’s likely to make his debut in friendlies against DC United and Club América.


Fans React With Excitement and Relief

For Everton supporters, this move represents more than just a signing — it’s a sign that the club is finally moving forward. Social media erupted with celebration as news broke of the medical being completed, with “Matt O’Riley” quickly trending across X (formerly Twitter).

One supporter wrote:

“This is the kind of ambition we’ve been desperate for. Not a panic buy — a real, smart signing with long-term potential.”

Another posted:

“Matt O’Riley to Everton — wow. Calm on the ball, creative, hard-working. This lad will be a fan favourite in no time.”

Everton’s lack of creativity in midfield has been a key concern for several seasons, and O’Riley’s arrival will offer much-needed balance to a squad often criticised for being too rigid and predictable in possession.


Tactical Impact: Where O’Riley Fits In

O’Riley is expected to play in a box-to-box or attacking midfield role, bringing technical finesse and tempo to Everton’s transitional play. His ability to dictate the pace of a match, unlock defences, and deliver set pieces makes him an ideal addition to Dyche’s evolving system.

With the likes of Amadou Onana and Abdoulaye Doucouré providing physicality and defensive grit, O’Riley will complement them with intelligence and passing precision — giving Everton their most balanced midfield in years.

He also brings leadership and professionalism, praised consistently at Celtic for his attitude and work ethic.


Final Thoughts

The signing of Matt O’Riley marks a significant turning point for Everton Football Club. After years of financial difficulties, uncertain planning, and underwhelming campaigns, this move feels like a genuine step toward a brighter future.

Young, intelligent, and ambitious, O’Riley embodies the qualities that Everton fans want to see on the pitch — commitment, creativity, and courage. With his medical now complete and the deal nearly finalized, Everton’s supporters have every reason to be excited.

Matt O’Riley is coming to Goodison Park — and with him, perhaps a renewed sense of belief.

Welcome to Everton, Matt. The Toffees are rising again.
