Man City plotting to sign Everton player with same agent as Pickford – sources
Man City hold a concrete interest in Everton rising star Douglass Lukjanciks, sources tell Football Insider.
The Premier League champions have been linked with a £10million move for the 16-year-old goalkeeper, but sources say no official bid has been made yet.
The shot-stopper has represented England at Under-17 level and made four appearances for the Under-18s side this season.
Intriguingly, it is believed that Lukjanciks, 16, has the same agent as Jordan Pickford, who Football Insider revealed is a target for Chelsea this summer.
Man City want to sign Everton Under-18s goalkeeper
Everton’s financial struggles have been well-documented this season, with Football Insider reporting that the club could land a third points deduction amid “real worry” at the club.
Lukjanciks is not able to sign a professional contract with Everton until he turns 17, which is in October of this year.
It is believed that Everton consider Lukjanciks has the potential to be a future number one and a successor to Pickford’s role.
Man City, meanwhile, are keen to bring him to the Etihad and develop him into a first-team-quality player.
Top clubs across Europe have also been linked with a move to sign the goalkeeper, who remains one of the most highly-rated prospects at Finch Farm.
