Everton agree partnership with Chilean club, Everton de Vina del Mar, to help with talent identification in South America after recently signing James Rodriguez and Allan

Everton have strengthened their links with South America after signing a new partnership with their Chilean namesakes.

The Latin influence at Goodison Park - helped by the summer transfers of James Rodriguez and Allan to join Colombia and Brazil compatriots Yerry Mina and Richarlison respectively - has helped propel the Toffees to the top of the Premier League.

Rodriguez's arrival has helped raise the club's profile across the Atlantic and they have built on that by signing a partnership with Chilean side Everton de Vina del Mar and its owners Grupo Pachuca, one of the leading football organisations in South and Central America with a stable of five other clubs based in Mexico and Argentina.
