The Stoke City striker is the son of ex Everton favourite, Kevin Campbell.
Everton supporters are tweeting their club’s former striker, Kevin Campbell, amid talk that his son, Tyrese, could make his Premier League debut this weekend.
Campbell Jnr is scoring freely for Stoke City’s Under-23s, and struck a hat-trick in his latest outing against Fulham.
And the 18-year-old’s manager, Paul Lambert, has admitted he’s in his thoughts for Saturday’s trip to Leicester City, having trained with his Potters first team this week.
Campbell Snr spent close to six years at Everton and is revered by Toffees fans for his 51 goals – including their last derby winner against Liverpool at Anfield.
It is little surprise then to see Blues followers take an interest in Campbell Jnr’s progress – with many hoping to one day cheer him on as they once did his father.
Stoke paid Manchester City £1.75 million for Campbell Jnr’s signature last summer [M.E.N.], which casts doubt on claims that his contract is due to expire in the summer [Transfermarkt].
And it is likely that the player will end up facing Everton long before he lines up in Toffees blue – if at all.
Could Everton prise Campbell away from Stoke City?
