Everton's transfer signing from Olympique Lyonnais Jake O'Brien stands 6ft 6in tall
Everton’s fifth arrival of the summer Jake O’Brien is their biggest signing of the transfer window – literally, given that he is an imposing 6ft 6in tall – and his acquisition enables the Blues to strengthen their grip on one Premier League table that they’re already topping.
“I know I'm a defender, but I like to bring that side of the game. I suppose I'm the modern-day centre half. You'll see me soon on the pitch and you'll see what kind of player I am.” Having moved from Crystal Palace to France last summer, it's been a steep learning curve for the County Cork-born player. O'Brien said: “I’m obviously not the complete footballer. I still have time to go but every club I’ve been at have helped become the footballer I am now.
