According to ESPN, Everton could have signed Erling Braut Haaland for €10 million (£8.74 million) in 2018.
It has been reported that Haaland was at Everton’s Finch Farm training ground on trial at the time.
The striker’s then club Molde wanted €10 million (£8.74 million) as transfer fee for him, but the Toffees decided not to pay it and kept their faith in Dominic Calvert-Lewin instead.
