Remember the Name: George Green

, 2 October, 97comments  |  Jump to most recent
Everton have beaten off interest from over 20 clubs, including some from abroad, to sign 15-year-old midfielder George Green, who is seen as one of the hottest prospects in the country.

The deal was done at Saturday's Merseyside derby. Dewsbury-born Green felt a move to Everton — and their reputation for blooding youngsters — was the best choice.

Bradford City will receive nearly £300,000 straight away from the first payment for a player who has come up through their school of excellence.

The deal is structured to include further bonuses for appearances, new contracts, potential international appearances and a bumper sell-on clause from any future transfer fee. The total fee could eventually top out at £1.75m.
