Everton youngster Fraser Hornby scored a hat-trick for the Scotland Under-21 side this week.
Hornby has been hitting the headlines in recent days for his brilliant performance for the Scotland Under-21 side.
The 18-year-old forward scored a sensational hat-trick in their 3-0 Euro 2019 qualifier against Andorra on Thursday evening.
The Everton youngster has suggested that he is open to leaving the Premier League club on loan.
Hornby told Capital City Press: “Hopefully I can get a few appearances for the first team at Everton, if not then I’ll be happy to go out on loan somewhere.
“I’ve not really had a chat with anyone about my future at Everton, I’ve kept my head down and I’m taking each day as it comes and working hard. I’m feeling good and hopefully I can get a few chances in the first team.”
Going out on loan
According to Capital City Press, Hornby’s current contract at Everton runs until the summer of 2021.
Given that the teenager is only 18 years of age, it is going to be hard for the forward to establish himself in the Everton first team rightaway.
While the youngster should look at getting some first-team playing time in the coming weeks, the Scotsman should also be on the lookout for any loan opportunities in the January transfer window.
A six-month spell in the Championship or in League One in England would be beneficial in the development of Hornby.
