da pinup bet: Everton are to set to battle it out with their fierce rivals Liverpool for Cork City defender Sean McLoughlin, according to TeamTalk.
What’s the story?
da bet nacional: McLouglin joined Cork City in 2017 and the youngster has quickly established himself as one of the finest young talents in the League of Ireland.
The 21-year-old central defender is now attracting interest from England, with Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough and Preston North End keen on snapping up the hot prospect according to the report.
It looks like Cork are set to allow McLoughlin to leave having already signed Damien Delaney as his replacement.
Is he ready?
The move from the Irish top league to the English is quite a step up, but clearly there’s a host of teams that think McLoughlin is ready to make that jump.
No fee is mentioned in the article, but following the success of Seamus Coleman who signed for Everton from Sligo Rovers, the Royals know there is talent hiding in the League of Ireland.
It is unlikely McLaughlin will break into the first team straight away and would probably be loaned out, but he could be one to watch for the future.
