Everton have made their move for teenage talent Callum Wright.

The ECHO understands the Blues have lodged an offer with Blackburn Rovers worth more than £1million.

Everton want the 17-year-old midfielder but face stiff competition from Leicester City, Spurs and Stoke City.

Liverpool-born Wright was released by the Blues at the age of 13 but joined Blackburn and has become one of the most in-demand young players in the country.

Everton are looking to bolster their attacking options at under-23 level after Anton Donkor returned to Wolfsburg following the end of his loan.

And the highly sought-after Wright is top of their list this month but the Blues know other top-flight clubs are in the mix for his signature.

Everton have tabled an offer but still face a fight to land the Blackburn star before the close of the window.
