Toffees to land Bradford starlet

The 15-year-old midfielder is regarded as one of the top prospects in the country, and a number of clubs have been tracking him. But now he is set to join the Toffees in a deal which could eventually rise to £2million. Bradford City's head of football development Archie Christie confirmed to the Telegraph & Argus that the deal had been agreed. "This is one of the highest deals ever for a 15-year-old from a League Two club," he said. "But George is the best I've seen in his position at his age. He could become another Wayne Rooney or Paul Gascoigne."
