Everton decided against a £2m move for Erling Haaland because it was not "the right move at the time", according to Duncan Ferguson.
Everton legend Ferguson is the latest club figure to shed light on the missed opportunity to sign the Norway striker, recalling the often-told tale of his visit to the academy as a teenager. Back then, Haaland was at his boyhood club Bryne but the Blues had been tipped off about the talent by Brian King - the club's talent-spotter in Scandinavia.
Despite watching him in action, Everton passed on the opportunity to sign him and he went on to become one of the world football's hottest talents, at Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund, before being snapped up by Manchester City in a big money move during the summer.
