Everton defender Luke Garbutt has impressed since being sent out on a loan spell by Marco Silva.
Garbutt has been loaned out by Everton to Oxford United, and he has seriously impressed in recent weeks.
The England youth international has been stationed in a more advanced role down the left-hand side, and has proven the quality that he does have.
Everton will, no doubt, have taken note of Garbutt’s much improved performances.
However, with Lucas Digne and Leighton Baines already at Goodison Park, Garbutt’s chances of breaking into Everton’s starting line-up look slim.
And the 25-year-old admits that he will have to have discussions with the Toffees, as he wants to be playing regularly.
“We’ll have to see what options are out there, I’ll sit down with my agent and Everton and work out a plan as to what I do moving forward,” he said.
“It’s something I’d like to keep private for the time being. I just love playing.
“I want to get out there and perform to the levels I’m at now and get better.
“I’m at that age now where I just want to be playing every week.
“We’ll see what happens in the summer.”
Garbutt has been starved of first-team football at Everton in recent years, with his last appearance for the club coming way back in the 2014/15 season.
If Garbutt was to leave Goodison Park his recent form at Oxford is sure to have attracted a number of Football League clubs.
