Everton clinch deal for 'new Rooney'

Everton believe they've uncovered the 'next Wayne Rooney' after clinching a deal for Oldham Athletic striker Scott Spencer.
Spencer will complete a £225,000 move to Everton by the end of the week after agreeing a two-year deal.
Boss Dave Moyes has got his man for a knockdown price as Spencer is not under contract at Boundary Park.
Centre-forward Spencer, 17, will move to Merseyside as soon as the last few details are ironed out.
The 6ft striker has blasted 29 goals for the Latics youth team this season - including THREE hat-tricks - and boss Ronnie Moore rates him as arguably the best young prospect he has ever worked with.
