 Hello, welcome to the Everton News Daily brought to you in association with the Sofa Score app. Everton had interested in Celtic forward Rocco Vatte. He has had a contract this summer. The 18-year-old forward has scored 12 goals in 15 games for Celtics beside this season. He is a Republic of Ireland international. He can play anywhere across the front three and this story coming out of Scotland today that he is interested in. Everton seemed to be looking at a younger player really, a younger strategy. Bring players in, try to develop them. Obviously we've spent money in the past that hasn't quite worked out. Kevin Thallwell and his recruitment team looking for a different way to do things we saw yesterday linked with two Brazilians young forward players and this has to be the model that Everton follower said that yesterday and if Everton have watched Rocco Vatte a few times then why wouldn't you if he has had a contract this summer. We'll see what happens. Vitaly Michalenco qualified for the Euros this summer in Germany. Has his Ukraine side came from 1-0 down to beat Iceland in Poland last night. Great news for the Ukraine. It would be great to see them at the Euros this summer and they made up for Michalenco. To be honest, it'll be good for them. It was Macaulam Mudrick who got there when the Chelsea win guess go to win a five minutes from the end. Seamus Coleman was manned a match as the Republic of Ireland were beaten 1-0 at home to Switzerland. Jedran Shikiri got the only goal. Seamus Coleman said after the game asked about John O'Shea who is the sort of caretaker manager I guess it is. He said why wouldn't he be in the running for the job. He's done a good job with the squad so far. Lee Carsley is a former Everton player who has distanced himself from the running in that one book. John O'Shea may well become the Republic of Ireland manager full time. Everton Midfielder, Amadou O'n Arna played for Belgium at Wembley. Jude Bellingham scored a 95th minute equaliser to Ian England at 2-2 draw with Belgium. Jordan Pick for playing that one made an error which led to Belgium's first goal. He's better than that but it ended up 2-2 like you said with the late one for Jude Bellingham. There was no minute for Jarrah Branthwaith and I think that's disappointed a lot of Evertonians. Particularly as Lewis Dunc made a big error for Belgium's second goal. I find it weird that Garas Elfgate didn't give him just 10-15 minutes at the end just to get accustomed to playing international football. He was at Wembley. It's a friendly. It doesn't matter. Get him on the pitch and let him enjoy. Let him get that taste. He did it with Mino. The weekend put him on then Mino played last night was excellent. So why wouldn't he have just done it with Branthwaith? It was such a strange and a poor management decision I think from Southgate. But hey, he's fit for us at the weekend. That's all that matters really. Finally, some news coming out of Finfarn today that Jaden Lenu has left Everton for Manchester City. The 15-year-old left-back is very, very highly rated, but he follows Emilio Lawrence who left Everton last year to join Manchester City. Clubs are powerless if players at that age want to move on and City are trying to hoover up the best young talent they've taken players from Everton's Academy, Liverpool's Academy in the area. And this is the latest one. I guess people have seen a few comments. People worried that Everton continued to lose these highly rated players out of their academy. And it is a strange one when Everton, there is a pathway into Everton's first team or it seems like there is. I mean, maybe, I don't know, maybe these players don't see that with the manager. Maybe they feel like this manager won't give them a go, but it's been happening under the last few managers. So I think maybe it runs deeper than that. And it's a problem that Everton has to get to grips with. They have to convince these players that there is a genuine pathway into our first team. We can offer the biggest wages, so we're going after offer them something that makes Everton an attractive proposition. It's all very well going after younger players from Celtic and I think we're doing it with other players, aren't we? We're trying to go to other clubs and bring them in. We've got to try and keep some here. But I guess if I'm doing a new section that someone has reported up in Scotland, Everton had taken one of Celtic's best prospects, then why would I think it's any different that a club like Manchester City would want to take one of Everton's best prospects? But from our perspective, we've got to find a way to keep olderies because these could have a pathway into our first team in the next few years. So there you go. That's my thoughts on it anyway.
