Everton will give a week long trial to Jonathan Klinsmann.

According to a report in the Daily Mail the 19-year-old son of Jurgen is due to train at the club’s Finch Farm after completing a training camp in London with the USA u-20 national side.

Jonathan can expect plenty of comments about his diving ability after his father became infamous for simulation during the nineties.

The United States has a tradition of producing quality goalkeepers with Ronald Koeman looking to bring in fresh talent at every age level.

With a German passport Klinsmann wouldn’t have to apply for a work permit if he impresses enough to be offered a professional contract during his trial period.

Thanks to the exploits of his father Jonathan can expect to come under greater scrutiny than most players in the US u-20 squad but according to most reports he has the maturity to deal with the attention.
