Everton keeping tabs on Sheff Wed striker Grainger
- Published
Wales Under-19 striker Will Grainger is attracting interest from Everton.
Grainger made his first start for Sheffield Wednesday in their final-day win against Norwich.
The previous week he scored his first senior goal in a 4-1 defeat at Oxford.
The highly-rated 17-year-old is likely to be part of Wales' squad when it hosts the European Under-19 Championships later this month.
While Sheffield Wednesday are hoping to hold contract talks with Grainger, Everton are across the situation. It is inevitable there will be wider interest should the player, who took over the captaincy of Wednesday's under-21 side earlier this season, excel in group stage games against Spain, Germany and Denmark.
