According to a report, Fraser Hornby is set to leave Everton on loan.
The Echo has claimed that Everton talent Fraser Hornby is on the brink of leaving.
The 19-year-old attacker won the Premier League 2 under David Unsworth last season but seems unlikely to break into Marco Silva’s senior side.
With that in mind, Everton have decided to send him on loan and the young Scot appears to be closing in a move to Belgium.
According to The Echo, Hornby, who made his senior debut in 2017, is set to hold talks with top-flight outfit KV Kortrijk this afternoon ahead of a likely switch.
Here’s how Toffees fans reacted to the development.
Hornby is a highly-rated prospect and Unsworth seems to particularly like him.
In June of last year, the Everton Under-23 boss said that he has very ‘high hopes’ for the teenager [official site].
This loan can only be a good thing. Youth football won’t do much for his development now, given that he’s facing other kids for the most part, and playing against men every week could be the making of him.
