Ivory Coast's Gbamin leaves Everton for CSKA loan

Jean-Philippe Gbamin has played eight times for Everton in all competitions

Everton's Ivory Coast midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin has joined CSKA Moscow on loan until the end of the season.

He last appeared as a substitute in the FA Cup win at Hull City on 8 January.

Gbamin was ruled out for 20 months after signing when a thigh injury that required two operations was followed by an Achilles problem picked up on his return to first-team training.

He is able to move outside the English transfer window because Russian clubs can sign players until 22 February.

CSKA - fourth in the Russian Premier League - resume their campaign on Saturday following an 11-week winter break.
