Many Everton fans have been left to fume at a transfer revelation as the Liverpool Echo have reported that they had a chance to sign Erling Haaland.
As per the news outlet, Ian Atkins, who was the Head of European Recruitment at the Goodison Park faithful between 2012 and 2016, revealed that before Haaland’s move to Molde, the Academy at the Merseyside club decided that he ‘wasn’t good enough’ adding that the Borussia Dortmund star was ‘one that got away’.
