Everton and Wolves keen on transfer for goal machine Lewis Pirie
Everton, Wolves and Brighton are reportedly keen on signing Aberdeen youngster Lewis Pirie as he scored the winning goal recently.
The Toffees have already scouted the 15-year-old when he scored four goals in a 5-2 thumping of Dundee United Under-16s in October.
Daily Record now claims [26 November] that Wolves have become the latest side to send someone to track the talented young striker.
Aberdeen are keen on keeping him at the club and he’s eligible to sign his professional deal which he will be eligible to do in January.
Worth exploring
Pirie isn’t just any run-of-the-mill young striker but someone who’s scoring goals for fun and making a mockery of others at his age.
He has bagged 33 goals in all competitions this season for club and country and is not showing any signs of slowing down.
There’s no surprise that the list of Premier League sides taking an interest in him is constantly increasing as he’s certainly one who’s got the potential to do great things in the future.
He’s already trained with the Aberdeen senior team and we will be surprised if he’s not made his senior debut 18 months from now.
We’re hoping that Everton quickly touch base with him and see what his plans are to move south of the border as it’s a big step in his career.
The fact that the Toffees will soon be moving into one of the best stadiums in the United Kingdom could also see him being tempted to make the move.
