Everton set to land Dundee United starlet Andrew Robertson in £750k deal

TOFFEES boss Roberto Martinez is keen to snap up the highly-rated defender but is willing to let him return to United on loan until the end of the season

EVERTON hope to sign Dundee United starlet Andrew Robertson this month after Roberto Martinez made his move for the highly-rated full-back.

The Goodison Park gaffer took in United's 2-2 draw with Hibs on Sunday and made
contact with the player's representative and now hopes to conclude a deal for around £750,000.

Martinez is also willing to loan the teenager back to the Taysiders for the second half of the season before he joins the Merseysiders at the start of the next campaign.

Tannadice chairman Stephen Thompson is currently on holiday in America and no deal can be finalised until he returns from his break in the States.

But Martinez spoke with United officials in Thompson's absence and a deal now looks to be on the cards for the player who has enjoyed a meteoric rise.

Double £750k at least. Goal scoring (5 in 23 games, no fk's or pens) left back with potential to move forward as he reaches his 20s!
