Everton have several exciting youngsters on their books.

Harrison Armstrong is highly-rated by David Moyes and is on loan at Preston North End to accelerate his development this season.

Teenage striker Martin Sherif has been impressing at Rotherham United, and Tyler Onyango has become a regular for Stockport County.

Isaac Heath caught Moyes’ eye in pre-season, but the decision was made to send him on a season-long loan deal to Accrington Stanley to ensure he plays regular football at senior level.

Accrington manager John Doolan has been full of praise for Heath, who’s made a productive start to his career in League Two.

The 20-year-old winger recently spoke to Everton’s website about how he’s getting on and he revealed that he returned to Finch Farm earlier this month.

“It’s been good so far, but I feel I can definitely do more.

“I’ve been speaking to a lot of the staff at Everton over the course of the loan, and I went to Finch the other day to do some analysis of my clips and find ways to get better.

“The aim now is to get as many games as possible, contribute to the team as much as possible and develop mentally and physically every day.”

Isaac Heath has hit the ground running in his loan spell at @ASFCofficial with three goal involvements in his first seven games.

“The intensity has been a lot higher (than Under-21s football) and there’s a lot more riding on the games. There’s definitely a lot more pressure going into the games, but it’s something that I enjoy experiencing.

“It’s been difficult at times, in terms of physicality. The ball’s definitely in the air a lot more, in a way, so there are different parts of my game that I can improve on and I can definitely improve a lot on many different aspects, like getting stronger when I’m playing against older players and players that are a lot stronger than me.”
