Everton have confirmed they have received permission to speak to highly-rated teenager Aaron Ramsey after they agreed a £5millon fee with Cardiff for the player.


The race for Ramsey is hotting up with Manchester United announcing on Tuesday they had agreed a fee for the 17-year-old and Arsenal have matched United's offer.

There had been speculation that Everton and local rivals Liverpool were both poised to enter the raise to sign the player and the Blues have subsequently confirmed on their website they have had a bid accepted.


Talks
A statement on club's official website read: "Everton have agreed a fee with Cardiff for Aaron Ramsey.

"The Bluebirds have accepted a bid of £5m from Everton for the 17-year-old midfielder.

"Everton have now been given permission to talk to the player about a move to Goodison Park."

Ramsey made 22 senior appearances for David Jones' Cardiff side last season, netting two goals.

He was used as a substitute in the FA Cup final defeat to Portsmouth and was selected by John Toshack for Wales' squad for the recent international friendlies against Holland and Iceland

set for a season on the pine regardless of which club he choses

I disagree. Moyes has done well at bringing talent through. Think he'd just be farmed out at ManUre to be fair

Nowt but respect for Moyes and Everton. Even if they are scouse (not Moyes).

I work in a smal office and the only other person in it is a 26 year old scouse bird with THE thickest accent. It really, really grates me...
