🚨REPORT :Everton manager Sean Dyche is reportedly keen on promoting a skillful young talent from the club’s academy, with plans to pair him alongside recent acquisition

Everton’s academy is one of the most famous in England, although it has fallen a bit recently.

   Of course, the club’s remarkable struggles have not helped its ability to produce Merseyside’s next big talent, although there have been some success stories worth writing about.

   Anthony Gordon, Ellis Simms, Tom Cannon and Ishe Samuels-Smith, all now gone, demanded solid fees to help the Toffees out of a tough time.

   Things are finally looking pretty dramatic now and it looks like those looking to make the step up to senior football now will have a much firmer footing to do so with Sean Dyche at the helm and finances somewhat in order.

   The Everton academy shines for the first team

   This was certainly present in last week’s pre-season friendly defeat to Salford City, where there was a whole host of youngsters in the squad.

   And despite a strong start, the academy was revamped in the second half, with Everton’s new signing Tim Iroegbunam introduced, such a young star.

   A standout name among all these lesser-known youngsters, given that he joined for £9m from Aston Villa this summer, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the 21-year-old to join the rave reviews.

   But while most fans may be excited about the immediate future, it was Harrison Armstrong, the youngest name on the entire team, who should also be described as someone who could one day play alongside him in the middle.

   Who is Everton star Harrison Armstrong?

   Armstrong joined the club aged just five and is a name most Evertonians may not be familiar with.

   Although in recent months it has started to show why more and more people have and will start learning it.

   Ultimately, at just 17 years of age, the technically savvy yet energetic midfielder has a bright future ahead of the latest crop of academy prospects hoping to one day make their mark on the first team.

   Seeing stars like Lewis Warrington and Ryan Astley fail to make the grade should serve as inspiration as we know they need to be better than those who came before them if they are to have a chance.

   Fortunately, Armstrong in particular already has rave reviews, with journalist Paddy Boyland even describing him as a “slow, skilful midfielder” in an article for The Athletic.

   Alongside the physically formidable but equally handsome Iroegbunam and with other stars such as James Garner, this youthful core could sustain Everton’s midfield for the next decade.
