Everton on brink of signing Anderlecht superkid David Henen

Everton are closing in on a deal for Anderlecht teen David Henen.

The Daily Express says Belgian sources state the Toffees are set to wrap up a £1m deal for the 18-year-old who has been hailed as 'the new Ronaldo' by Belgian football pundits.

The lightning quick frontman, who can also operate on the wing, was reportedly in discussions with the Gunners in June but it appears he has chosen to make the move to Goodison Park.

German side Borussia Dortmund also expressed an interest in Henen so it is quite the coup for Martinez who has a Europa League campaign to build a squad for.
