Everton are dominating the battle for Perth Glory prodigy James Overy, according to journalist Alan Nixon in a recent Patreon post. The Toffees are reportedly interested in signing the Australian defender in the future.
Overy’s Ascension in Australian Football
Overy has attracted attention for his defensive performances with Perth Glory’s Under-21 team. The Austrian teenager has done well to position himself as one of his country’s most promising prospects.
Last summer, the precocious youth impressed in a pre-season friendly encounter against West Ham United. As a result, it is not surprising that Everton are interested in getting his services in the future.
The 15-year-old has worked his way up the Perth Glory youth system but has yet to break through as a first-team starter at the Australian club.
Everton Are Leading The Race For Overy: Is He A Future Prospect?
Overy is a strong ball defender who can read the threat and recover possession for his team on the defensive end of the field. When the opposition is on the front foot, he usually puts his foot through the ball and can make a few energetic runs with the ball on the right wing.
In the opponent’s half, the Austrian prospect can even set up a few good plays for his teammates. However, at 15, he is still in his infancy and would require time before seeing first-team football at the highest level.
Nonetheless, there is no disputing that Overy is a player to keep an eye on in the future. As a result, the Toffees will do well to bring him on board in the near future. In the long run, he will be a terrific addition for the Toffees. Everton manager Sean Dyche, on the other hand, will have to be patient with Overy’s development before he can bring out the best in him at Goodison Park.
All things considered, the Toffees should go all out to win the race for the Perth Glory whizkid when the transfer window opens in January or at the end of the current season.
