With Tim Cahill being primed for a potential Goodison Park return, Everton are hoping to unearth Australia’s next big football prospect through a link-up with a club near Perth.
Cahill advised Farhad Moshiri on the managerial search that brought Frank Lampard to the club and the Everton owner spoke glowingly about the 42-year-old in an interview with the club last week with the ECHO understanding the club’s majority shareholder has been impressed with his knowledge of the game.
Having made 278 appearances for the Blues as a player, scoring 68 goals, Cahill is now being lined up for a formal part-time role at the club.
