Everton manager David Moyes has a big decision on his hands regarding Isaac Heath ahead of the January transfer window.
After impressing in pre-season, Isaac Heath was sent on a season-long loan to League Two outfit Accrington Stanley.
Heath, who was named Everton under-21s Player of the Season last term, has already become a regular starter for John Doolan’s side.
In fact, Heath is flourishing at Accrington, and that may force Moyes into a decision this winter.

David Moyes should consider recalling Isaac Heath
Accrington’s manager John Doolan said Heath is ‘exciting everyone’ around the club after his goal and assist against Swindon Town on the weekend.
In fact, the general consensus is that the Everton loanee is probably too good for League Two. Accrington fans are certain Heath will become a top player in the future.
The 20-year-old has already registered five goal involvements in eight appearances, which may prompt Moyes and his staff to recall him.

At the rate he’s going, Heath should be recalled and loaned to a club in a higher division for the betterment of his development.
Perhaps a step up to League One would be the most sensible option, rather than jumping up to the Championship, for instance.
Isaac Heath admits he needs to work on his physicality
Heath spoke to Everton’s media team during the international break and admitted that, whilst he’s in good form, he feels he still has improvements to make physically.
“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.”

Clearly, the youngster is very modest in his assessment of his loan so far, which is encouraging as it shows his hunger to continue to get even better.
