Isaac Price spotted in Belgium to seal Everton exit to Standard Liege
Isaac Price has been spotted in Belgium with Standard Liege to complete his transfer away from Everton for the summer window, according to Voetbal Krant (16 May).
Price is out of contract at the end of the season and is set to leave the club once his deal expires as he goes on the search for more regular first-team football elsewhere.
The midfielder hasn’t featured for the first-team under Sean Dyche this season, and now a report in Belgium claims he is already in Europe to seal his deal having been spotted with his new club.
Shame
Price is a super talented young player and looked to be on the brink of a first-team breakthrough under Frank Lampard at a point this season.
However since he left the club Price hasn’t featured in the first-team picture at all and it’s no surprise at all that he is looking to leave the club and go elsewhere to find regular football.
He has been picked out by some as a player who could have made it here, but the club’s current situation means he didn’t know where he stood and the likelihood is that there was no pathway through anyway.
It’s a real shame for Everton considering they have brought through the likes of Jarrad Branthwaite, Ellis Simms and Anthony Gordon in recent years that it seems to be the case now that there is no route through.
Price is all but gone and Everton will be getting peanuts for him if anything at all, and it’s our loss for not using him properly even when we’ve been struggling so badly and he could offer something different.
