Manchester City are the latest club to be linked with a move for Everton U18s keeper Douglas Lukjanciks.
The 16-year-old, who is a dual Latvian national, has only made a handful of appearances for Leighton Baines’s side but he is already an England U-17 international and has been attracting attention from potential suitors this season.
In March, there was talk of a host of clubs including Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Marseille and Southampton eyeing a move for Lukjanciks and now Manchester City are reportedly lining up a £10m part-exchange bid for this summer.
The report is from former Sun journalist, Alan Nixon, whose track record is pretty poor on this stuff, but it does indicate the fact that Lukjanciks is being looked at by other clubs.
Everton’s need to sell players to ease their financial woes means that there will be plenty of stories like this and no shortage of eyes on the pick of Club’s young talent.
