Everton ready to sign Lachlan Allen after family talks, contract next
Everton are hopeful of signing West Sydney Wanderers youngster Lachlan Allen.
David Moyes won’t want to lose Everton stars in January as he looks to continue his upward trajectory in the Premier League.
Incoming signings have been linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Everton showing interest in Conor Gallagher after a frustrating campaign with Atletico Madrid.
Andreas Christensen has also been targeted by Everton as the Toffees look to shore up their defence moving into the second half of the season.
It appears that sealing the defensive structure of the Blues for years to come is a priority, with Allen now linked with an imminent switch from Australia.
Everton edge closer to Lachlan Allen signing
Tim Cahill could help bring Allen to Everton as the Merseyside outfit looks to continue their links to Down Under for upcoming seasons.
The former Millwall man is one of the biggest cult heroes at the Goodison club and could soon be followed by the goalkeeper.
The Toffees have shown interest in Allen for many months, but they finally look to be edging closer to his signing ahead of the January transfer window.
Alan Nixon reported via his Patreon on 14 December that Everton are ready to sign the Australian after meeting with his family last week.
The shot stopper has had a trial with the Blues, and now a contract is in the pipeline to tie Allen down to a full-time deal once he turns 18.
The youngster wants to swap Australia for England to develop, and the Toffees see him as a top prospect for the future.
Everton could land perfect Jordan Pickford replacement
The Toffees won’t want their England international star to retire anytime soon, but succession plans are still necessary.
Jordan Pickford is now 31 and could act as the perfect mentor for many seasons to Allen should he complete his move from Sydney.
The ex-Sunderland man is one of the best and most consistent keepers in the entire Premier League and represents the perfect role model.
The quicker that Everton can agree a deal to bring the teen keeper in, the longer he can work alongside the Englishman and that can only be a good thing.
