The Everton youngster should be starting ahead of summer signing Cuco Martina.
Ask Everton fans who they would like to see starting at right-back in the absence of Seamus Coleman and not many will say Cuco Martina.
Far more would name Jonjoe Kenny as the ideal alternative while the Republic of Ireland international continues his recovery from a broken leg, and yet Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has seemingly been reluctant to put his faith in the 20-year-old.
The issue is: Martina is a dud while Kenny is a star in the making and the Everton manager needs to get his team selection right as he bids to turn a difficult start around in the coming weeks.
As if he needed more proof of Kenny’s undeniable ability, the youngster played a key role in Everton’s winner against Bournemouth on Saturday, delivering the cross the caused enough problems to ultimately see Oumar Niasse score his second of the afternoon.
Kenny has been just one of a number of Everton youngsters to make a point this season. In short, you do not need to spend vast sums of money to succeed; not when you have the likes of the right-back, Tom Davies, Ademola Lookman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to call on.
Surely, finally, Kenny will get to start a run of league games for Everton, beginning with the weekend clash against Burnley.
