 Report: Charlton agree to sell Ezri Konsa, with Everton in pole position to sign him ahead of LiverpoolKonsa is said to be at the 'centre of a tussle' between Everton and Liverpool. Ezri Konsa of Charlton Athletic runs with the ball during the Sky Bet League One match between Charlton Athletic and Peterborough United at The Valley on November 28, 2017 in London,... Charlton Athletic have 'agreed to sell' Ezri Konsa for £5 million, and Everton are in 'pole position' to sign him ahead of Liverpool, according to the Daily Mirror. Charlton boss Karl Robinson, who played for both Everton and Liverpool in his youth, previously shared his belief that Konsa would be prised away in January, and said it would take a minimum of £5 million to land him. "My gut feeling is that he will go in January," said the Liverpudlian, as quoted the Daily Mirror. Chrlton Athletic manager Karl Robinson looks on during the Sky Bet League One match betweenNorthampton Town and Charlton Athletic at Sixfields on March 4, 2017 in Northampton, England. “If I was him I’d be looking to go in January but we should look for £5 million minimum. Maybe we could try for a loan back but the player has to want that." Charlton have sold academy products Ademola Lookman and Joe Gomez to Everton and Liverpool, respectively, in recent years. However, it is Everton who are said to be leading the race to sign Konsa, after Toffees scout Martyn Glover watched him in action against Blackburn last month. Ashley Williams of Everton comes on for Phil Jagielka of Everton during the Premier League match between West Bromwich Albion and Everton at The Hawthorns on August 20, 2016 in West... The England Under-20 centre-back could be seen as the long-term successor to Ashley Williams and Phil Jagielka at Goodison Park, with both players well into their thirties. Source : HITC |

I thought picking us over the pinkies would be an easy decision, we have 2 CB's in Jags & Williams, that are well into their 30's, so if Ezri is good enough, he'd have an excellent chance of actually starting prem games with us, whereas over at Anfield, he has 4 or 5 players ahead of him in his CB position & may never even reach the bench, nevermind start a prem game for several years, unless of course he thought playing with their kids for a few seasons would enhance his career? If it's about managers, then I could see Klopp being more of a pull than Allardyce, except it's unlikely that Sam will be at EFC after this summer, as Moshiri will want to go ahead and bring in his man, be it Silva, or another progressive manager/coach, as soon as possible!

Welcome WL. There's definitely an opportunity for defenders at Everton, given not one player has staked their place this season, and the age of 2 of them. However, at just 20 years old, is it just a case of him joining the u23 team? Is he good enough to start in the first team? |
