Everton Striker Simms Receives England Under-18s Call-Up

Everton striker Ellis Simms has been named in the England Under-18s squad for the Slovakia Cup, which gets under way next week.

The talented frontman has been rewarded with a maiden international call-up after a prolific goalscoring campaign.

Simms hit 32 goals in 21 matches in U18 Premier League (North) and won the Under-18s’ Player of the Season prize at Thursday’s Everton Academy Awards.

The Slovakia Cup features eight teams, who are divided into two groups of four. England have been drawn in Group A and will open their campaign against Russia on Monday 20 May.
