Everton chance for USA reality TV show winner

Everton are giving a chance to one USA youngster to win a contract with the club's academy.

Thousands of 16-19 year olds have been taking part in the Soccer Dreams programme which will be aired in the USA this summer.

It features an X-Factor style process whereby the hopefuls are whittled down under the watchful eye of Everton coaches.

The final 36 players will then move into shared accommodation - dubbed the House of Champions - as competition intensifies.

Eventually, in August, the winner will be revealed and will move to Merseyside to follow the internationally acclaimed Everton Way.

Everton Chief Executive Keith Wyness told evertonfc.com: "This is a great project for Everton to be involved in; it can only raise our profile in North America, which is a key territory for us.

"It also gives us another way of accessing talented young players and we look forward to welcoming the winner to Everton."
