Full-back finalises Turkish move

Lucas Neill has finalised his move from Everton to Turkish giants Galatasaray. The Australia international only joined the Toffees on a short-term deal over the summer, but is already packing his bags for pastures new. Galatasaray made their interest in the full-back known last week and Everton revealed that they would be willing to discuss a sale. That has led to a £750,000 deal being struck, with Neill now set to jet off to Turkey on an 18-month contract. The 31-year-old defender has admitted that he is excited by the challenges which lie ahead and hopes his latest move will see him head into this summer's World Cup finals in the best possible shape. Galatasaray become Neill's third club in less than 12 months, with the combative Aussie having parted company with West Ham at the end of last season. He has also turned out for Millwall and Blackburn over the course of a distinguished career.
