For Everton fans who want to cast their way back to 2014, there was a time when your club signed David Henen on an initial loan from Olympiakos before signing him permanently for €280k in 2015.
The now 27-year-old would then go onto stay with the Toffees until 2018, when he moved to RSC Charleroi in Belgium on a free transfer.
The player never made a first-team appearance for Everton, and his career is set to take a big change, because he is off to Kazakhstan, as reported by journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he reveals that Henen, currently at KV Kortrijk after a spell at Grenoble in France, has to choose between FK Astana and FK Tobol Kostanaï.
Both Kazakh teams have reached an agreement with the Belgian side, who will make ‘a little transfer fee’ plus 10% of a future fee.
He adds the former Everton U23 player has already completed part of his medical, with the second part taking place in Istanbul, where the forward is ‘now flying to’.
An interesting career arc for the 27-year-old to say the least.
