Everton Reach Agreement To Sign Highly-Rated £17m Attacker As Moyes Begins Summer Rebuild

Everton are enjoying themselves under David Moyes’ management, breaking away from yearly relegation scraps and charting a course for Europe.

It doesn’t look like they will reach the end of that journey this season, but the Toffees perch in tenth place in the Premier League with two matches remaining.

It’s a fitting send-off for a club legend such as Seamus Coleman, who has devoted his career to Everton, celebrated by each and every Merseyside house flying the blue flag, set to drape the curtain on his long career at the club this summer.

This is a new era at the Hill Dickinson, though, and as Moyes prepares to sign a right-back to replace the 37-year-old, who arrived for that paltry £60,000 figure in 2009, attention is also turned to the attacking flanks.

Everton reached agreement in club-to-club talks for new winger

Everton still haven’t made a decision on Jack Grealish’s future, the 30-year-old out injured and unlikely to feature again this season. He’s on loan from Manchester City, and while all parties would welcome a permanent move to Merseyside, it would have to be for the right price.

Grealish’s wages are staggering, with Everton paying around £225k of the Three Lions star’s weekly salary. If a move proves unviable for the Friedkin Group this summer, it’s reassuring to know that technical director Angus Kinnear has already identified the perfect fallback.

Everton are already making serious moves ahead of the summer transfer window after reportedly agreeing a £17 million deal to sign highly-rated Chilean winger Dario Osorio from Danish side FC Midtjylland.

The talented attacker, who has already been compared to Everton star Iliman Ndiaye because of his flair and unpredictability, could become David Moyes’ first major signing as the club prepares for a new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

According to transfer reporter Ben Jacobs, writing for GIVEMESPORT, Everton are among the clubs to have made contact with Danish club FC Midtjylland for wide forward Dario Osorio, joined by Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

Arsenal have scouted the Chilean right winger too, though their priority lies on the other side of the wing.

Midtjylland have already seen off offers worth €20m (£17m) for their prized forward, but interest is only intensifying ahead of the transfer window, and Everton clearly see something they like in a player who offers shades of Iliman Ndiaye.

Why Osorio can become Everton’s new Ndiaye

Osorio, 23, has been considered one of football’s most exciting talents since his teenage years, now ready to take a leap of faith and try his hand in the Premier League.

He’s ebbed and flowed, but the flashy winger’s talent is undeniable. In this, he could be Everton’s new Ndiaye, unpredictable and proving that development is rarely linear for those young prospects tipped for big things.
