Everton youngster Dennis Adeniran has been spotted in first-team training with The Toffees, with AllNigeriaSoccer reporting that Carlo Ancelotti has been running the rule over the talented midfielder.
The Merseyside giants can lay claim to one of the finest academies in English football right now.
Everton’s U23s have won the Premier League 2 title twice since 2017, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jonjoe Kenny, Tom Davies and Mason Holgate now making strides in the senior game.
But, at the age of 21, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that Adeniran had missed the boat.
The London-born starlet has not made a single first-team appearance for Everton since he joined from Fulham three seasons ago. Though a long-awaited bow could be on the cards at last.
As provided by AllNigeriaSoccer, Adeniran has been spotted in Everton colours with Ancelotti’s side returning to full-contact training at Finch Farm.
Considering that the Toffees are safe from relegation, and unlikely to make up enough ground to challenge for Champions League qualification, there might never be a better chance for the veteran tactician to throw some of his young talents in at the deep end.
Everton paid £4 million to sign a teenage Adeniran in 2017 (Sky). And there is still time for him to live up to such a hefty price-tag.
