Marcel Brands to join Everton

Marcel Brands will join Everton later this month, according to Sky Sports.

The PSV Eindhoven technical director’s move will be confirmed once PSV are confirmed as Eredivisie champions – PSV are seven points clear with five games left to play.

Sky Sports report the 55-year old Dutchman is represented by agent Mino Raiola and Everton’s owner Farhad Moshiri “believes the pair could help them land the talent to make them a top-four Premier League team” and that “Brands’ arrival could signal Steve Walsh’s departure from Goodison – less than two years after he joined from Leicester”.
