The Everton youngster has been linked with a move away in recent months.
Everton youngster David Henen has told Belgian outlet La Meuse that he does not think the club is the right place for him at this moment in time.
The striker has been at Goodison Park since 2014 but is yet to make a senior appearance for the Blues.
He has subsequently been linked with a move away from Merseyside in the January transfer window, with clubs in Germany and France both reportedly interested in his services.

He himself had denied such rumours but in his latest comments appears to suggest he is looking to find himself a new club sooner rather than later.
“While it’s nice to be in a prestigious football club, I want to play now,” he told La Meuse.
“If I did this for the money, I would have signed that Everton contract… I don’t think this is the right club for me at the moment. I want to feel important again in a club and not just be a player among others.”

An exit from Everton is certainly looking likely for Henen at this moment in time, especially with these comments in mind.
He is unlikely to get a chance in the Blues first-team anytime soon under Ronald Koeman and he has hardly shone for the Under 23 side this year to justify a place.
However, he is highly rated and Everton are likely to be far from keen to let him go as he seemingly wants to.
Instead, they will be keen to keep developing him for the future and perhaps he would be wise to knuckle down and earn himself a place rather than eyeing a transfer.
