However, Whitaker was due to be out of contract at Goodison Park in the summer and Everton have granted him permission to join League Two promotion-chasing Notts County. A club statement said: “Charlie Whitaker has completed a permanent transfer to Notts County for an undisclosed fee.
“The 21-year-old attacking midfielder joined Everton aged 12, having previously been at Blackburn Rovers. Whitaker scooped the Club's Under-18s Player of the Season prize in 2020/21 before becoming a regular for the Under-21s.
“He now joins promotion-chasing Notts County, who currently sit in the play-off places in the League Two table. Everyone at Everton thanks Charlie for his commitment and wishes him the very best for his future career.”
Notts County director Richard Montague told his club’s website: “Charlie is another young, high-potential player who we’ve been monitoring for some time. While we think he’s best suited to central attacking areas, he’s versatile and comfortable playing out wide.
