Teenage Everton striker Kieran Phillips is currently having trials with Premier League rivals Sheffield United, according to a report on the Liverpool Echo.
The 19-year-old signed his first professional contract in the summer but has had minimal Under-23 action so far this season.
He was the star man for the Under-18 side last season, scoring 12 times in 11 appearances, but he’s struggled for game time in the Premier League 2.
Phillips joined up with the Blades’ youngsters last week and already got his name on the scoresheet for them during their draw with Bolton Wanderers.
Should Everton let him leave?

The fact that Everton have even allowed him to have trials with Sheffield United shows that the Toffees aren’t desperate to keep hold of him.
He has had his injury woes after suffering a double knee fracture, which almost resulted in him not being able to walk again.
Thankfully, he’s recovered and is now looking to make a name for himself. Whether that’s with Everton or Sheffield United remains to be seen.
