Everton are set to hold talks with Barnsley defender Mason Holgate after having a bid accepted for his services, according to reports.

Barnsley defender Holgate is one of the most exciting talents in the lower leagues and he had interest from a host of Premier League clubs.

Holgate has already rejected a move to Manchester United, while AFC Bournemouth have been talking to him about a deal, but transfer insider Alan Nixon says Everton are now speaking to the 18-year-old after agreeing a fee.

It’s thought the Toffees have offered about £1m for the player who can play at right-back or centre back.




It will now be up to him to decide where his future is.
