Leon Osman says dynamic teenager Tom Davies has the qualities to become a "complete midfielder" – and insists the swashbuckling Academy graduate has returned to Everton’s team a “more experienced and educated footballer”.
Davies has flourished in an attacking midfield role in each of the Toffees' past two home games. His zeal and tenacity contributed significantly to an energetic Everton display in the victory over Leicester City a fortnight ago.
And 19-year-old Davies crowned an exhilarating performance against Crystal Palace on Saturday by rifling home his team’s final goal of a 3-1 success in front of a rollicking Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End.
