Everton interested in Irish defender

The luck of the Irish as they say, well Everton are definitely subscribing to the whole idea by going west for Bohemians' 19 year old Kevin Feely.

Charlton have given a trial to the youngster but Everton have also got involved in the cross-channel furore for the defender who has been a major find in this year's League of Ireland, making 18 appearances for the Gypsies. 

That is Bohemians by the way, he doesn't play for a team on a caravan site.

Their manager, Aaron Calloghan is a former team mate of Toffees manager David Moyes who has long since been a fan of Irish football, picking up Seamus Coleman from Sligo Rovers a few years back, admits the interest in Feely and is reluctant to lose his highly rated defender.

Yet, Calloghan maintains a sense of realism with his player, admitting he would find it tough to keep him as the former Kildare man wants to further his career and Bohemians, being gypsies, would not be in a position to turn down the money.

Goal.com believe Bohemians to be a fertile ground for talented youngsters, with Roberto Lopes, Luke Byrne and Michael Baker also being on the radar of bigger clubs.
