Aldin, whose journey to England will be documented by broadcasters Premier League World, said: “This has been a dream come true. The journey from writing 92 letters to all the English league clubs to standing here at Finch Farm with Mo Besic as an Everton fan has been surreal.



"Everton’s response inspired me to find out and learn more about the Club. The more I learn about the Club, the more I fall in love with it. How they have treated me is living proof of why Everton are the People’s Club.



“I’ve spent the past couple of months learning all about Everton, the amazing history and some of its amazing players like Dixie Dean – that man was better than Messi!



"Now I’m looking forward to attending the game against Crystal Palace and sampling the atmosphere at Goodison Park for the first time.”

A Bosnian football fan who became an Evertonian after writing to all 92 league clubs in England asking why he should support them has met Blues midfielder and compatriot Muhamed Besic at the Club’s Finch Farm training ground.Aldin Karabeg’s story went viral earlier this year when he approached all the teams from the Premier League down to League Two and received only 10 responses.One of those was from Everton, who informed Aldin of the Club’s rich history and revered record of achieving a number of notable firsts in the game Having heard news of Aldin’s quest, Besic then recorded a message for the 19-year-old , encouraging him to become a Blue and telling him he would one day love to see him attend a game at Goodison Park.It was enough to persuade Aldin to pledge his allegiance to Everton and, having travelled to meet Besic on Thursday, he is set to get his first taste of watching his club in action when he takes his place in the Gwladys Street end for Friday’s Premier League visit of Crystal Palace.“It was great to finally meet Aldin and I am so glad he is going to be able to come to a game at Goodison Park,” said Besic, who presented Aldin with a signed Everton shirt. “I told him in my message that I am proud of all our fans in Bosnia and I am happy he picked Everton as his team.“He is a great guy, we spoke about Bosnia and football in general and I really hope he enjoys his experience of Goodison Park.”
