one of the best young players in Australia has been denied a work visa to sign for Everton, instead having to sign a 2 year deal with his local team till he turns 18

The World Game understands the 15-year-old attacking midfielder - the youngest ever player to sign for Glory - was poised to join English Premier League club Everton, before the deal fell through due to visa complications.

Know the kid and I've never seen such a talented young player, better than Ryan/Rhys Williams when they were his age

Nah, born and bred Australian

bit disappointing tho, second aussie kid I know off to be rejected a work visa to sign for everton after Terry Antonis (timmy went on about him a lot), least Jake Adelson got a contract, he had the heritage tho

If he was that age could he not get in on a student visa and train with us part-time or something? You hear enough stories of people getting in on dubious student visas, it's daft that someone that will have a job is being refused entry.

The daftness of the immigration policy right there.

 

[toffeejack]

make an agreement now to sign him in 2 years?

That might be illegal.

Just what I was thinking!
Could do the same with Leroy Fer for the summer too while were at it - the guy has played non-stop since we disowned him

 

[Hellerad]

I think EFC would prefer to get him training in their system as early as possible, but if he continues to develop I would imagine we'd stay interested.

If he continues to develop, he'll be about 9 foot tall in 2 years

 

[toffeejack]

also if he continues to develop and continues to improve, other teams will sniff around him. I'm sure there have been instances where man utd have agreed to buy these foreign youngsters who join them a couple of years later

What a shame. How has the previous Aussie 'wonderkid' Terry Antonis done since something similar happened to his deal to join us?
