Everton considering move for ‘excellent’ Championship player, he’s rejected Liverpool before
Everton are considering a move for Southampton’s 33-year-old goalkeeper Alex McCarthy who could leave the club for free.
That’s according to journalist who shared the update on .
Rosser shared that Crystal Palace are also interested in the goalkeeper who was relegated to the Championship last season.
: “Everton considering a move for Southampton’s Alex McCarthy.
“Crystal Palace interested too, McCarthy has two years left on his deal but is one of the highest earners and therefore Southampton could let him go for free.”
McCarthy doesn’t seem like he’ll be Southampton’s first choice under new manager Russell Martin this season.
The club appear to have once again put faith in goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu for the new campaign.

McCarthy did actually reveal in that he once rejected a move to Liverpool before joining QPR in 2014.
And whilst a move for Southampton’s McCarthy might not be the most glamorous for Everton fans, it could prove to be shrewd business.
