Premier League outfit Everton have agreed on a deal with Newcastle for the highly talented young defender Lewis Gibson.

The 16-year-old’s move to Merseyside was officially confirmed earlier today.

The Merseyside outfit have been busy strengthening their first team all summer and it seems that Ronald Koeman is just as interested in securing the talents for the future.

Gibson has signed a three-year deal at Goodison Park and the highly rated defender will join up with David Unsworth’s title winning U23 side now.

The likes of Spurs and Southampton were interested in the player as well but Everton have acted swiftly to secure his services.
