Sources: Burton Albion in advanced talks to sign Everton midfielder Tyler Onyango
Everton midfielder Tyler Onyango is in advanced talks to join Burton Albion on loan, Football Insider understands.
Onyango, 19, is highly-regarded at Everton and he made three first-team appearances for the Toffees last season against Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
A number of EFL clubs have enquired about taking the all-action midfielder on loan this season, but Burton have moved quickly to agree a deal to sign the England U18 international.
The midfielder has been at Goodison Park since he was eight years old and made his senior debut aged 17.
This came against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup in January 2021, playing five minutes at the end of the game while his side were already 3-0 up.
Onyango has also represented England five times at Under 17 level.
The six foot five inches midfielder plays primarily as a central midfielder but has dropped deeper and played in more attacking roles as part of the Toffees’ various youth sides.
He made 10 appearances in the Premier League 2 last season.
Everton have already loaned out Jarrad Branthwaite this summer as he joined Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven
Joao Virginia has also left the club to join SC Cambuur on a season-long loan.
Burton finished 16th in League One last season, under the management of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
The club finished well clear of the relegation places but could not mount a challenge to push for the playoffs in the second half of the campaign.
