Braiden Graham’s impressive start to life at Everton continued on Monday evening as the former Linfield teenage sensation scored four goals for their U21 side in a dramatic 5-4 Premier League Two victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
The 17-year-old departed the Blues last summer and has already earned his first professional contract at Goodison Park following a string of impressive performances for the Toffees’ U18 side, netting seven times in 11 appearances.
Graham has since made the step up to U21 level, and his quartet – which came inside 62 minutes at Hotspur Way Training Ground and brings his tally to five in eight outings – has certainly caught the attention of Everton fans, who are all excited by his potential.
His latest showing has even resulted in some Everton supporters calling for Graham to be handed a senior debut by David Moyes in their final six Premier League matches.

Jack added: “The best thing about being safe now is we can give some minutes to young lads, like Braiden Graham.
Loze posted: “Braiden Graham scoring 4 in just over an hour for the 21s, impressive that.”
Graham also created a piece of club history with EFC Statto saying: “Braiden Graham is the first #EFC player to score 4+ goals in a reserve league game since Warren Aspinall against Middlesbrough Reserves in October 1986, and the first 17-year-old to do so since Jimmy Husband against Chesterfield Reserves in September 1965.”

“Andy Waterworth and the JD Academy over the last couple of years have given him an opportunity to train on a daily basis and he has been in our environment since he made his debut last year. He’s been an absolute credit
“There’s so much development still to come, which is a good thing – he’s starting to sprout up a bit and he has all the attributes in his game to go and be a good player.
“We’ll wish him well in the summer when he goes and I’ve no doubt
