Now, a fresh report has emerged linking Everton with a move to sign a former Manchester City youngster who’s now plying his trade in the Championship.
Everton scouting Southampton midfielder Shea Charles
According to the Daily Mail, Everton are scouting Southampton’s young midfielder Shea Charles after his standout season.
Charles, who joined Southampton from Manchester City in a £15m deal in 2023, has really kicked on since his Sheffield Wednesday loan last year.
There are some real leaders proving themselves in this Everton side! 💪
The 33-cap Northern Ireland international has established himself as one of the best players in the Championship and it’s understood that he’s now valued at around £20m.
The defensive midfielder scored the winner in Southampton’s FA Cup win against Arsenal last week, which has alerted the likes of Manchester United and Rangers, too.
Charles only has one year left on his deal on the South Coast, so this summer would be the final chance for Southampton to cash in on his signature for a decent fee.
That gives Everton the power in any forthcoming negotiations.
