# Everton confirm Bowler deal

Everton have officially announced the signing of Josh Bowler from QPR on a three-year deal.

[The club have confirmed](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2017/07/07/blues-sign-up-bowler) that Bowler has joined the Blues and will link-up with the under-23 squad this week.

Bowler completed his medical with Everton earlier today, after the club agreed a fee with the Championship side on Thursday.

The youngster signed his first professional contract with QPR in March earlier this year.

Bowler could cost Everton up to £4m, with £1.5m going to QPR up front.

The 18-year-old has made one senior appearance for QPR, which came against [Norwich](https://readnorwich.com/) on the final day of last season in the Championship.

He has been with the London-based club since he was 14-years-old but has now decided four years later to join Everton’s youth side.

Ronald Koeman showed last season that he was willing to give youth a chance, with Tom Davies breaking through into the first-team.
