Everton youngster Anthony Evans is in bright form.
Everton attacker Gylfi Sigurdsson has flattered to deceive so far since his £45 million transfer last summer.
He has been inconsistent, and this season has scored only once.
If promising youngster Anthony Evans keeps up his impressive form, it won’t be too long before he is challenging for Sigurdsson’s place.
Evans has scored three times for Everton’s under-23s this season, and is shining in the number 10 role.
He told Everton’s official club website: “It’s natural for me, playing as a number 10, a bit higher up the pitch.
“It’s harder to get the ball sometimes, because you have the deep-lying midfielder trying to get mark you. But once you get past him and turned, there’s nothing betting for me than running at the defenders, seeing runs, sliding people in and getting shots off.”
Evans has moved back from his previous role as a striker, and is forging an impressive partnership at under-23 level with Fraser Hornby.
Young talent Evans signed a contract extension earlier in 2018, and had a brief loan spell at Morecambe earlier this year.
He is thriving as part of David Unsworth’s side and if he can continue his form for the under-23s, he will start putting pressure on big money star Gylfi Sigurdsson if the Icelandic international’s form gets worse.
