The former Maccabi Petah Tikva star has been training with the Premiership side this summer during their pre season camp in Italy writes Rafael Salido. Everton manager Walter Smith was impressed with Tal's performance so he has put some pressure on the club to finalize the deal, despite some problems related with the number of appearances of the player which may increase his cost for Everton. The initial fee is around £600,000 for the winger but this could rise. Everton start the new Premiership season at Leeds on Saturday.
