Everton re-sign Gravesen on loan

Celtic midfielder Thomas Gravesen has re-joined Everton on loan for the rest of the season.

Gravesen has struggled to establish himself at Celtic after signing from Real Madrid for £2m in August 2006.

The Dane had five years at Everton in his first spell at Goodison after joining in July 2000 before leaving for Madrid in January 2005.

"I really look forward to coming back to Everton and to once again play at the top level," said Gravesen.

Gravesen made more than 150 appearances for the Toffees during his first spell at the club.

He was left out of the Celtic squad to face Hearts last weekend, prompting speculation that he would be leaving the club.
