PREMIUM NEWS: Everton sign Celtic top striker on free transfer.

Harry Watkinson claims that Everton is one among the teams interested in acquiring Rocco Vata,

the sensational Celtic player, this summer.

The 18-year-old is on the shortlist at Goodison Park,

according to a TEAMtalk journalist who wrote on his personal Twitter account on March 27.

This is after the player scored 12 goals in 15 games for the Hoops B team this season.

Vata, a young international for the Republic of Ireland,

has a contract that expires at Parkhead at the end of the current campaign.

It is reported that other European clubs are interested in hiring him.

 

 

One for the future of Everton?

The way Everton approaches transfers needs to shift from previous years; young players who can be developed into elite players through coaching should be given priority.

There is opportunity for a new striker, since Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future is uncertain,

Beto has struggled to make an impact in his first season,

and Youssef Chermiti has not shown much in his limited opportunities thus far.

Despite Vata’s lack of experience and track record,

the Toffees have enough of financial leeway to take a chance and trust him because his contract is about to expire.

With 12 goals in 15 games this season, he has good versatility and a definite goal-scoring ability that can be developed.

He can play wherever along the front line.

Vata would be a wise addition who would offer some insight into the club’s future plans and the direction they intend to go in the next transfer windows.
