Everton's new technical director 'signing of the summer'
BBC Radio Merseyside spoke to the Daily Mail's Nathan Salt on what new Everton technical director and former Manchester United academy chief Nick Cox will bring to the club."I don't think it's a good move - I think it's a great move," Salt said. "I think it'll be one of the best pieces of business any club will do all summer. "All of the people I've spoken to said he is one of the best in academy football, and I know that's not going to be his role but he's been chomping at the bit to get a senior job."He's turned down multiple technical director and sporting director offers across Europe at clubs at decent level and all the word I've got is that he was directly headhunted by Everton and he just found it too good to turn down."They're getting someone who genuinely puts players at the heart of all his decisions. The things he's put into place at United – taking a middling academy and turning it into one of the best in the country."Everton weren't best pleased when the news broke because they thought they'd pulled off the signing of the summer in secret."Listen to the full chat on BBC Sounds
