Ben Mclaughlin.

[Neiler]

Has just signed for Everton.

Done deal.

17 year old central defender from Dundalk in the League of Ireland, made his senior debut in March of this year, can also play right full and in midfield, although i see him as a centre half.

Everton sign 17 year old Irish defender Ben McLaughlin from Dundalk, for nominal fee

Meanwhile, Everton have signed young Dundalk defender Ben McLaughlin, who is the son of the club’s former player Paul and grandson of its hugely successful former manager, Jim.

The 17-year-old had already established himself in the first-team squad at Oriel Park but now links up with the likes of Shane Duffy and Séamus Coleman at Goodison Park.

The initial fee involved is believed to be nominal with the League of Ireland club hoping to earn significant add-ons if the players goes on to play regularly for David Moyes’s side.

Duffy, Coleman.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

We'll never see him play in his correct position for more than two games in a row even if we win both of those game 18-0.

He is 178 cm high and he played for Dundalk games mainly as a right back.. According to their fans he seems to be a nice prototype of a modern right back who is a little bit naive in defence, but he already was the best player of their team. Signed a 3 year contract with us. It seems like we signed a nice talent for our academy.
