Everton are keeping tabs on Sheffield United attacking midfielder David Brooks.
The 20-year-old piqued Everton manager Ronald Koeman’s interest after he starred for England in their surprise Toulon Tournament win last month.
Brooks, who has 18 months remaining on his current deal at Sheffield United, was set to leave on loan for Chesterfield as part of the deal that saw Ched Evans move in the other direction before the tournament.
But the Championship side, who were promoted as winners of League One last season, abandoned the move, with manager Chris Wilder now believing he can play a part in their first-team next season.
