Claims are being made on social media that Everton have apparently signed Reuben Gokah from Charlton Athletic.
He’s a 16-year-old centre-back who has not played any senior football and will work towards becoming a fixture in Everton Academy's U18 Premier League (North) campaign this season.
No official confirmation of this yet…

I agree, we need to see more youth coming into the club from outside, specifically attacking players as our own coaching is obviously well below standard.
Young defenders aren't a necessity, pace and goals are.

If we get this strategy right, and it’s a big ‘if’, then I think it would be better long term for us than trying to compete with the high rollers at the top table of the transfer roulette wheel.

Its also always a gamble.
As I recall, Lookman was the last "promising talent" we signed from Charlton.
Hopefully these two will turn out better.

Won't get many pulses racing though, as he's only 16 years old, a defender who has not even played for the Charlton first team.
