Mills, whose son is in the Everton academy set-up, explained that Brands is not only scouting overseas but is regularly in attendance at the training sessions of Everton’s youth sides as he casts his net for new recruits at Goodison Park.

“Very good guy, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet him several times, sit down and have a chat with him,” Mills told Football Insider.

“Very impressed with him, he’s across everything, I guarantee it. I’ve been down at Finch Farm where he’s been watching the under-15s, watching the under-17s, watching the under-18s.
