EVERTON are eyeing up a January move for Sheffield United youngster Sam Graham, according to reports.
The Blades centre-back has impressed in the academy, and the Toffees are now keen to snap the prospect up and bring him to Goodison Park.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton scouts have been keeping tabs on the teenager, and are vying to bring him to their Under-23 squad.
Graham signed a contract with the Championship table-toppers back in March - tying him down at Bramall Lane until 2020.
Sheffield United have lauded Graham on their website, describing him as a "tough, athletic and strong centre-half."
The Merseyside club - who have already recruited Lewis Gibson and Nathangelo Markelo to their youth academy - are determined to bolster their defence in their development squads.
