David Prutton has reacted to the prospect of Everton signing highly-rated West Brom winger Tom Fellows this summer.
Fellows’ form for West Brom across the last two Championship seasons has drawn attention from many a Premier League club, and as Everton look to rebuild this summer, he’s right at the top of their list.
The Toffees’ need for a right winger has been exacerbated by the inconsistent performances of Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison this term, and they are in pole position to sign Fellows for £20million.
David Moyes is set to take a hands-on role in Everton’s transfer activity this summer after the impending departure of Kevin Thelwell, and he could lead the pursuit of Fellows to address their problem position.
Though Everton are yet to strike an agreement with West Brom over their 21-year-old academy product, the Blues are the favourites to secure his signature, particularly if Albion remain in the Championship.
Speaking to Football League World (18 March), Sky Sports host David Prutton was excited for what the future holds for Fellows, and argued a transfer could be inevitable if West Brom don’t win promotion.
Prutton said: “Everton are watching the West Brom winger – who has grown right before our eyes. He’s developing – I say developing, because at 21 there’s still a hell of a long way to go in his career hopefully.
“He’s brought a final ball to all the trickery with the ball at his feet, which means he has been a reliable outlet for assists.
