Everton have shown an interest in Sheffield United teenager David Brooks and are considering a bid for the midfielder during this transfer window.

Brooks was named Player of the Tournament in the Toulon Tournament, scoring in the final for winners England after switching allegiances from Wales.

Sheffield United had been set to allow 19-year-old Brooks to join Chesterfield on loan as part of the deal that saw the club re-sign striker Ched Evans.

But the Blades pulled the plug on a deal for Brooks to move to Chesterfield at the last minute, following interest from clubs higher up the Leagues – including Everton.

Brooks is yet to make a League start for Sheffield United, having joined the club from Manchester City’s Academy in 2014. The following year he spent two months on loan at Halifax Town, making five appearances and scoring one goal.
