Everton pair Jonjoe Kenny and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have both been offered first-team chances this season.
Kenny and Calvert-Lewin have both been offered chances in Everton’s starting line-up this term, with the duo making an impact.
Calvert-Lewin has scored three goals already this season, and Kenny put in a good performance in Everton’s defeat against West Ham United at the weekend.
And Carragher was full of praise for the starlets, suggesting they both had big futures at Goodison Park.
“I really like him [Kenny],” he said. “He is your typical Scouse full-back, very aggressive, takes no prisoners but he also has quality going forward.
“You can see what it means to him playing for Everton. The traditions of Everton are that they always have those types of players.
“I like Calvert-Lewin a lot, too. He has a great presence. I saw him in town and had a picture with him, I was looking up to him, the size of him!
“He was in that team that won the Under-20 World Cup, along with Kenny, and he has done very well, a great signing for Everton. I think he has a great future.”
It seems unlikely that Calvert-Lewin and Kenny will remain in Everton’s team when Silva has all his options available to him, but while injuries are building, they are being offered a chance.
Calvert-Lewin has benefitted from Richarlison’s suspension, while Kenny has got in as a result of an injury to Seamus Coleman.
Everton are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
