Everton are hopeful of appointing Norwich City’s head of football development Dean Rastrick as their new academy director.
Rastrick, formerly of Tottenham Hotspur, has emerged as the leading contender to fill the vacant post after an extensive search process led by technical director Nick Cox.
Talks have already taken place over the move, which would see Rastrick replace former academy director Gareth Prosser, who left for Al Jazira of the United Arab Emirates at the end of last season.

I’ll be honest. I’ve liked basically every appointment that TFG have made in the operational hierarchy. Hammond is maybe my one skeptical hire, but I can’t argue with the terms and contracts he’s hammered out this far (go ahead and get a new contract in front of ndiaye).
