Everton are close to signing 16-year-old Australian defender James Overy, who has been on trial with the club. Overy, a right-sided wing-back, is considered one of the best young talents in Australia and could be a long-term replacement for Seamus Coleman.
Everton are reportedly in ‘pole position’ to sign young Perth Glory defender James Overy, who is also a target for West Ham United and Leicester City.
Now, according to journalist Alan Nixon, Everton are close to luring Overy to Goodison Park despite competition for his signature.page, Nixon claims that Overy has been on trial with Everton and starred in a youth game for them last week. Right-back is a position that has been a problem for Everton. Club captain Seamus Coleman has been one of the first names on the team sheet for many years, but the 35-year-old is past his best and has struggled with injuries.Ashley Young has been utilised by Dyche regularly this season, but again, as a 38-year-old he is not a long-term solution.
Nixon adds that Overy, who is set to make a senior debut for A-League club Perth Glory, does not need to obtain a work permit to play in the UK due to having a Scottish mother.
