Deal confirmed:Everton announced the suspension of their head coach few minutes ago
Everton made a number of first-team signings in the summer transfer window, but it’s a player in the under-21 setup that is making a name for himself right now.
It’s clear that there’s a transfer policy that revolves more around signing younger players with more potential at Everton.
Sean Dyche welcomed seven new faces to Goodison Park. The only player above the age of 26 was Asmir Begovic, with the majority ranging from 22-24.

It looks as if it’s already proved to be a smart move from the Toffees.
According to Liverpool Echo, Omari Benjamin has been impressing coaches at the club.
‘Benjamin has impressed staff at Finch Farm with his intelligence and work rate, as well as his end product.’

Interestingly, Calvert-Lewin has been linked with Newcastle, so there could be a position
