Everton boss David Moyes is trying to snatch Barcelona's Mexican starlet Efrain Juarez Valdez - the kid hailed as the next Cesc Fabregas.
The 19-year-old
midfield schemer is quitting the Nou Camp after a contract dispute - and the Daily Mirror reports that Spanish sources claim the star of Mexico's under-17 World Cup winning side was on Merseyside last week for talks about a stunning move.
Valdez has been at Barca since he was 13 and was loaned out to a lower league club last season. But he thinks he can do better by moving.
Because of a contractual technicality Valdez is allowed to go for nothing and the Toffees have stepped in first.
However, there may be a work permit problem as Valdez is yet to win his first senior cap, although
Everton are trying to find a way round this - and may have to wait until the next transfer window to complete the deal"
I thought he was a defender? Anyone have any info?
But anyway... I just can't see this happening if every fkr knows about it now... Someone will offer more wages and he'll go there.
