New Everton manager Roberto Martinez wants to sign Birmingham winger Nathan Redmond, 19, in a £3m move.
Full story: The Sun
What’s the story? Redmond impressed in the Championship and far more so than his more vaunted colleagues in England’s under 21 squad in Israel. Everton can afford to bring in a developmental prospect and Martinez has a good record improving players.
Does it make sense? Yes. He’s not ready to be a starter but Martinez would be a coach to help him develop. Everton will be playing with more width under Martinez.
Is the price right? Yes. Worth a roll of the dice for £3m.
Will it happen? 7/10 – This is the kind of move that seems very logical and not sensational enough to have truth to it.
