Everton face battle to keep starlet Thierry Small as Premier League clubs circle

Everton could lose starlet Thierry Small this summer, with the Express claiming he could snub a new deal in favour of first-team football elsewhere.

Small first joined Everton aged 11, having spent time with West Bromwich Albion before that. He has earned rave reviews in the Everton youth system since then.

Those performances saw the player handed a first-team opportunity, making his senior debut for Everton in the FA Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday in January.

That appearance also made Small the club’s youngest ever player, aged 16 years and 176 days on his debut.
