VAUGHAN impressed in the Championship last season with two loan spells at Crystal Palace, but Norwich City boss Paul Lambert won the race for his signature last night ahead of Crystal Palace, Celtic and Derby.
The fee was undisclosed, but the Echo believes that David Moyes banked £2m from the deal.
In April 2005 Vaughan became Everton’s youngest ever player when used as a 73rd minute substitute against Crystal Palace, beating Joe Royle’s club record by 11 days.
The feat has since been broken by Jose Baxter but Vaughan’s 84th minute goal on his debut not only made him Everton’s youngest-ever scorer, overtaking Wayne Rooney, but he also surpassed James Milner as the Premier League’s youngest player to find the back of the net.
Injuries hampered Vaughan’s progress at Goodison, but he played a significant part the Blues’ FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester United at Wembley, netting in the penalty shoot out.
