da cassino： As reported by ESPN, Everton are one of the teams in the hunt for Hamburg’s teenage prospect Josha Vagnoman this summmer.
What’s the story?
da bet nacional： This summer is another one of transition for the Toffees after the ill-fated managerial spells of Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce.
It’s important the club get both their managerial appointment and transfer policy right if they are going to make progress in hunting down the Premier League’s established top-six sides.
One valid strategy is securing the best young talents in Europe before the bigger and richer clubs get their hands on them.
ESPN report that Everton are interested in doing exactly that, led by new Director of Football Marcel Brands.
The outlet reckon one of his first targets is Hamburg defender Josha Vagnoman, battling with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal for his signature.
Who is he?
Still just 17 years of age, Vagnoman became the second youngest player in Bundesliga history when he made his Hamburg debut against Bayern Munich back in March.
Rated at £180,000 by Transfermarkt, he has also featured heavily for the German national team’s youth sides, playing every game for his country in the U17 World Cup.
With big clubs interested in his services, Everton are right to put themselves in the frame to sign him, perhaps able to offer him first team football ahead of title-chasing sides like Chelsea.
It can be a strategy that pays off big in the future, considering they can’t currently compete with the top six once talents become established in Europe’s top five leagues.
