Real Madrid’s Spanish wonder kid has been linked with a loan move to Goodison park. Sergio Canales, 19, has found first team opportunities difficult to come by this season in the Spanish capital, with the likes of Kaka, Benzema and Adebayor above him in the pecking order.
The Spanish under 21 international is thought highly of in Europe, having signed a six-year contract with Los Blancos in February 2010 for a fee believed to be starting at €6m. A product of the Racing Santander youth academy. The attacking midfielder spent just two seasons at his boyhood club before joining the Spanish giant’s.
The Everton Boss missed out on signing Canales when he joined Mourinho at Madrid, a year on, one of Spain’s most talented youngster’s has disappeared into the background at Real.
Still just a teenager, the young Spaniard is blessed with great vision and displays the attributes of all the majestic playmakers who have graced the Bernabeu. After witnessing Canales announcing himself to the world, scoring an almost embarrassingly composed and calm double against Sevilla in January 2010. Marca Journalist Roberto Palomar proclaimed “he plays as if he was in the hallway of his house. His heartrate never went over 40bpm.”
Any potential loan move to the Toffees would represent a great bit of business for Moyes. The continuation of the player’s development under the spotlight of premiership combat could remove any doubt’s Mourinho has about his ability to mix it with the big boys.
