Everton are set to offer Tom Davies a new long-term contract, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The 17-year-old, who only turns 18 at the end of June, has a year left on his current contract but is expected to be offered a new deal following an impressive year.
Following his progression with Everton’s under-21’s, Davies was awarded for his performances by being invited to train with England’s national squad, back in October – just a month after signing his first professional contract.
In his breakthrough year, Davies made his Premier League debut for Everton in April, before running the show as he was named man-of-the-match in a 3-0 win over Norwich City under David Unsworth’s temporary management.
Now it looks likely Davies will become a regular name in Everton’s match-day squads next season under new management.
Unsworth praised Everton’s younger stars, Kieran Dowell and Jonjoe Kenny for their solid displays against Norwich, but gave special praise to Davies.
In particular, Tom Davies was out of this world.
His individual performance within a team performance – and I’m not massive on individual performances, it’s all about the team for me – but he was outstanding this afternoon.
For me, it was everything we want in an Everton centre midfielder; all-action, good on the ball, spots danger. It was a great midfield performance.
