Ex Celtic player backed to agree controversial Everton transfer as ex scout banishes possible sticking point
A former Celtic player is being tipped to make a controversial Everton move from Liverpool this summer transfer window.
Everton are being tipped by a former scout to complete a shock move for an ex Celtic player this summer.
Fans of the Parkhead club keep an eye on a range of former players, whether it be those who soar to football’s highest heights like Jeremie Frimpong or some who’ve disappointed in life after Celtic. One tale of what could have been is Ben Doak, who left for Liverpool in 2022.
He has impressed out on loan at Middlesbrough over the last 12 months and that has sparked talk Everton could field a surprise offer to see him swap Merseyside rivals. While the nature of crossing the divide in Liverpool would prove thorny, former Toffees scout Bryan King reckons Doak would agree to the move, with the derby not an issue.
Ben Doak to Everton transfer backed
Speaking to Goodison News, the man who spent between 2008-2017 with Everton said: “I think Doak would agree to join Everton. I can’t see that being a problem. There have been many players who have played for both Everton and Liverpool. The question is, will he get more playing time with Everton?
“I can’t see Liverpool refusing to sell to Everton. They’ve worked well in the past; players have gone from Everton to Liverpool and vice versa. Big-name, international players. Therefore, I don’t think this will be a problem for a young player who would probably get more of a chance at Everton than at Liverpool at this moment in time.”
Doak was a top talent to emerge from the Celtic academy and Ange Postecoglou handed him big chances like an appearance in an Old Firm clash vs Rangers to try and tempt him into staying.
