The 19-year-old began his career with Liverpool’s academy before joining Wigan in 2013 and he has made three first-team appearances for the Championship club.
Callum Lang caught the eye of Everton scouts after impressing on loan at League Two Morecambe last season where he scored 10 goals in 30 appearances for the club and impressively finished second behind Fulham’s wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon as the top-scoring teenager in England.
