Everton forward Sandro Ramirez impressed at Goodison Park last night.

Marco Silva has confirmed to the Sky Sports that he wants to keep Sandro at Everton, after the forward’s encouraging performance last night, but there must be question marks over whether that would be an error.

Everton started Sandro against Rotherham in the Carabao Cup, and he was one of their more impressive players during the contest.

And Silva stated after the match that he wanted to keep the Spanish youth international.

“Even if I knew someone called up in the next hour and it is something Sandro is trying to find, I would like if I would stay with him in the squad because he is a player I believe in,” he said.

However, keeping Sandro at Everton could be an error, as one game cannot change a season’s worth of evidence.

Granted, Sandro was impressive against lower league opposition, but everything so far has suggested that he hasn’t adapted to the Premier League.

With Everton already having such a wealth of attacking options, and with Richarlison and Theo Walcott in such great form, it is hard to see where Sandro fits.

And keeping Sandro around wouldn’t actually suit either player or club, despite his impressive performance last night.
