According to The Athletic, Everton are nearing an agreement with Burton Albion for 18-year-old William Tamen.
The young talent has been on the Toffees’ radar for some time, as they see his acquisition as crucial for their developmental squad.
Everton Close in on William Tamen
William Tamen is a relatively unknown name, having quietly impressed in the lower leagues. He has worked hard to find his rhythm and gain experience, making his senior debut for Burton Albion last season.
Considered a significant talent in Premier League circles, Everton are closely monitoring Tamen.
They are reportedly close to reaching an agreement with League One side Burton Albion for the teenage defender, aiming to integrate him into their senior setup.
Everton has a strong reputation for developing top defenders. Under Sean Dyche, emerging stars have a good chance to shine, as evidenced by the development of Jarrad Branthwaite.
Tamen possesses the potential to become a future star for Everton and may soon find a path to their first team.
The finalization of the agreement with Burton Albion seems imminent.
Everton’s Summer Plans
Everton has made crucial sales to meet PSR obligations, including the departure of Amadou Onana.
They have also made key additions to their squad and are still searching for the right replacement for Onana, with Kalvin Phillips being a potential candidate.
Meanwhile, Everton is keen to retain Jarrad Branthwaite despite Manchester United’s interest.
The Red Devils appear to have moved on from the center-back, as indicated by some of their recent signings.
