Baxter To Join Tranmere Rovers

Young Everton midfielder Jose Baxter will complete a switch to League One side Tranmere Rovers in the coming days, once the formalities of the deal have been completed.

In a similar vein to clubmate Shane Duffy, Baxter is expected to sign an initial one-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who was Everton's Reserve Player of the Year last season, is Everton's youngest ever player having made his debut at the age of 16 years and 191 days in August 2008.

Since then, however, his progress seems to have stalled and he has not been given a regular chance in the first team. The loan switch may allow him to gain some all-important experience.

He could make his debut for Rovers on Saturday against Preston North End.
