The Everton right-back is said to be in line for a new contract.
According to the Sun, Everton’s Jonjoe Kenny is set for a new long-term contract at Goodison Park, and that shows how seriously their new manager Sam Allardyce is taking the job.
After all, there are a lot of things for a newly appointed boss to do once he has his feet under the desk, so to sanction a new deal for one of the club’s brightest prospects hints at how long Allardyce intends to remain on Merseyside, while also ensuring the club’s future is secured.
Everton were in dire straights prior to his appointment, yet the 63-year-old has quickly turned things around and the Toffees look set for a far more comfortable 2018.
Kenny has been a shining light during Everton’s renaissance, forcing his way into contention despite being overlooked for long periods by former boss Ronald Koeman.
Despite being only 20, the defender looks every inch a Toffees superstar in the making and the swiftness with which Allardyce is pushing for a new long-term contract speaks volumes for both the player’s talent and the manager’s intentions.
He may not have always stuck around at any one club for long, but in Everton he may have found a home for some time to come.
