Everton deny a deal is done for Azerbaijani wonderkid Araz Abdullayev

[Sharpys top lip]

EVERTON have still not agreed to take up their option on Azerbaijani wonderkid Araz Abdullayev – despite the 18-year-old speaking this week of his “pride” at joining the Blues.
Everton have had first option on the midfielder – the youngest player to be capped by his country – since July.
But yesterday a spokesman for the the Azeri side, where Abdullayev plays his football, said: “Officials from the English club will visit Baku soon and the contract will be signed here in our capital.”


The midfielder, speaking to Neftchi’s official website, added: “I am proud that I will be an Everton player.
"I’m very grateful to the authorities at Neftchi for all they’ve done for me.
"I will do my best to be a good representative for Azerbaijan and Neftchi in England.
"I hope I can please both Everton and Azerbaijani fans.”
A Blues spokesman, however, said last night: “We still have first refusal but there has been no decision yet on whether to exercise that option.”
Any move to Goodison for Abdullayev would be subject to the player securing a work permit in January, and after their problems with Nigerian international Victor Obinna – now playing for West Ham – no-one at Everton will be taking a move for granted.
