Everton sign Australian youngster Jake Adelson

Everton have signed Australian starlet Jake Adelson on a three-year deal.

The 16-year-old midfielder had impressed Everton's coaching staff during a trial at Goodison Park and his move from New South Wales side Blacktown City has now been completed.

The Toffees won the race for Adelson's signature ahead of several other European clubs.

Adelson is David Moyes's second signing within a week, after Portugal Under-21s international Francisco Junior joined last Tuesday.
