Everton table £50,000 offer for Cork City goalkeeper David Harrington
Everton have tabled a bid to sign young goalkeeper David Harrington from Irish club Cork City, according to the Echo Live.
The Toffees are in the market to sign a number of players to strengthen the overall squad for the 2022-23 campaign.
As per the latest reports, the Merseyside club have placed a bid of £50,000 to sign the 22-year-old in the ongoing transfer window.
However, the report further stated that the player is keen to stay at the club for another season to help the side in a bid to push for promotion.
Promising
Everton’s journey over the last few years has been an interesting one. They went from a club that used to depend on their local homegrown talents to buying expensive players who hardly lived up to the hype.
Those decisions nearly came back to haunt the Toffees as the side narrowly managed to escape relegation in the previous campaign.
Therefore, it was imperative that the Merseyside club must return to their basics of investing in young talent who would know the value and prestige of the club when they finally get a chance to wear the blue shirt.
In the past, Everton remained famous for nurturing young talent into world beaters. The likes of Wayne Rooney, Ross Barkley and now Anthony Gordon are prime examples of that.
Looking at that, it makes sense for the club to make a move for someone like Harrington who is still very raw but showcased his talent in the previous campaign where he managed to keep 14 clean sheets in just 26 appearances in the First Division [Transfermarkt].
