Everton have confirmed that the Toffees academy ace Antony Evans has left Goodison Park permanently.
A number of Everton fans have been giving their thoughts on Twitter regarding Antony Evans’ permanent move away from Goodison Park (official Everton website).
On Wednesday, Everton confirmed that the Toffees academy graduate had sealed a switch to Bundesliga side Paderborn.
Evans, who joined Everton’s academy aged nine, was a fixture in David Unsworth’s Under-23s but had failed to make a senior appearance for the Toffees.
The 21-year-old, whose Everton contract was set to expire in the summer, had been out on loan with Blackpool in League One last season and at League Two side Morecambe in 2017.
Evans follows in the footsteps of right-back Jonjoe Kenny and winger Ademola Lookman, both of whom have gone from Goodison Park to Germany.
Here is how some Everton fans reacted to the transfer announcement:
The versatile midfielder, who is naturally a winger but can play in central midfield and in the 10 role, was described by Paderborn’s managing director Martin Przondziono as “an absolute top talent, he has great potential and fits very well with our style of play.” (Liverpool Echo).
Paderborn are currently 17th in the Bundesliga following their promotion from the German second tier last season.
