The club will also pay additional compensation payments to the former clubs of two Academy players.”Everton have accepted the punishment and apologised for breaching academy player recruitment rules.A club statement said: “Everton has worked alongside the Premier League over recent weeks to conduct a full and thorough investigation into allegations relating to our Academy’s operational methods in some areas of player recruitment.2

Everton conducted an internal investigation and have cooperated with the Premier League
