Everton are set to be priced out of a move for West Brom star Tom Fellows, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed the 21-year-old’s price tag will be “prohibitive” for the Merseysiders, who have tracked Fellows for a long time.
It is believed West Brom are doing everything they can to keep the winger at The Hawthorns despite interest from Everton, Ipswich Town and Southampton.
Sources say the Baggies have already rejected an £8million bid for the winger’s services from the Saints.
Sean Dyche is an admirer of the player but is set to be frustrated in Everton’s attempts to land the player in a late-window deal.
Fellows enjoyed a breakthrough season for West Brom in the 2023-24 campaign, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.

The 21-year-old’s impressive form has carried over into the new season, where has now recorded three assists in his first three Championship games.
Fellows is under contract until June 2027 after penning a new deal at The Hawthorns in January.
He has come through the ranks at West Brom and is capped by England at Under-20 level.
