Everton accelerate bid to sign Championship sensation after £10m bid – sources
Everton are lining up a potential move to sign West Brom sensation Tom Fellows in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed the 21-year-old has been on “Everton’s radar for a while now” with the Merseyside giants looking to lure him to Goodison Park.
The right-midfielder is seen as a player who has huge potential moving forward due to his performances at the Hawthorns.
Fellows is under contract with the Championship side until 2027 and has featured in every single league game this season, scoring once and providing 10 assists.
West Brom turned down a bid from Southampton in the summer transfer window of around £10million, meaning any potential deal is expected to cost more than that.
