Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton have sanctioned a loan move for the Toffees U23 ace Morgan Feeney.
Everton academy ace Morgan Feeney has left Goodison Park on loan and a number of Toffees fans have been having their say on the switch.
The Toffees Under-23 defender is highly rated at the Merseyside club and captained his side to a Premier League 2 and Premier League Cup double last term.
He has made two senior appearances for Everton, both in the 2017-18 Europa League campaign, against Atalanta and Apollon Limassol (Transfermarkt).
Feeney was previously described him by Under-23s boss David Unsworth as a “terrific” prospect, hailing his leadership skills (official website) and also deeming him from the “Dave Watson school of defending“.
The Bootle-born player, who was also in the Under-23s team that won the Premier League 2 title in 2017, will now ply his trade for League One side Tranmere Rovers.
The Birkenhead-based side currently sit 21st in the table and six points from safety, albeit with two games in hand on 20th-placed MK Dons.
Here is what Everton fans have been saying on Twitter about Feeney’s loan move across the Mersey:
“It’s his first loan, but I’m very confident and very positive about it,” Micky Mellon told the Tranmere website. “He does all of the things a centre-half should do, he’s a leader, he’s vocal.
“I’m really pleased that we have been able to get somebody from Everton into the club. It is something that we’ve worked very hard to try and get that relationship going.”
