Everton signs goalkeeper Zach Lee and evaluates trialists for youth team
Summary

Everton has made a new signing at the youth level, acquiring goalkeeper Zach Lee from Milnthorpe Corinthians. Lee, who previously played for Wigan Athletic, will train with the Under 21s. This move is expected to pave the way for potential loan departures for current youth keepers George Pickford and Douglass Lukjanciks. Additionally, Everton is assessing two trialists: Ollie Dewsbury, an 18-year-old left-winger from Bristol Rovers, and midfielder Jamel Beggs, who was released by Tottenham Hotspur. The club also promoted Rocco Lambert to professional terms after his strong performance in the youth setup.
