5 Everton stars Koeman should give a chance

Tom Davies

After Southampton’s young starlet Josh Simms wowed Everton at the weekend, it might be time for Ronald Koeman to look into his own under-21 squad too.

One player who he could turn to is midfielder Tom Davies.

Davies is having a fantastic season for the youth squad at Goodison. He isn’t one to go and make headlines, but is a no frill midfielder who gets the job done.

He has come off the bench three times for the first-team so far this season and in his 25-minute cameo against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which Everton lost 5-0, he was labelled the side’s best performer.

Trusting the 18-year-old would be a risk, but the situation is getting to a point where risks must be taken.

Consistency and that bite of youth could breathe life into the side’s midfield.
