Many Everton fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to share their feelings after Watford confirmed that winger Gerard Deulofeu will be out with a long-term injury.

The 25-year-old is a Toffees cult-hero and enjoyed two brilliant spells with Everton. He first joined on loan from Barcelona in 2013-14 and then played between 2015 and 2017 after the move was made permanent.

Deulofeu moved to Watford from Barcelona and has established himself as a key player for the club. Although he is playing for a rival club now, Everton fans still love him dearly.
