Everton loan out Aiden McGeady to Sheffield Wednesday

Manager Roberto Martinez had said McGeady was on the verge of leaving for a Championship side and the news - and destination - was confirmed on Monday.

The Ireland winger, who joined Everton from Russian side Spartak Moscow in 2014, has made just one appearance for the club this season and is seeking more regular playing time with one eye on this year's European Championship.

"Aiden needs to play and it's a really good opportunity for him to do that in a very demanding fixture list for a team that can get a really good tempo into Aiden for the Euros," Martinez told the club's website.
