Adam Aznou goes into next season with plenty of uncertainty around his future at Everton.
David Moyes barely used the Morocco left-back after the Toffees spent £8million to sign him from Bayern Munich last summer.
The 20-year-old made just one appearance all season, putting in a decent cameo against Sunderland in the third round of the FA Cup.
Despite Aznou's struggles last season, there may still be hope for him at Hill Dickinson Stadium as he returned to Finch Farm for the start of pre-season.
The young defender has a fresh slate in L3 and an opportunity to show Moyes he's worthy of being counted on.
A full pre-season under the Scottish manager should do wonders for the left-back, who can certainly provide decent backup to Vitalii Mykolenko in the squad.
How was Adam Aznou received at Finch Farm?
On 10 July, a significant portion of the Toffees' squad reported for duty at Finch Farm as they get ready for next season.
Beto was embraced back in Merseyside by teammates and the support staff, with his reception highlighting his influence in the team.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Aznou was another player who seemed well-liked by the squad, and the reception he received suggests he's a popular figure.
It feels like the Moroccan youngster isn't the sort of player who has caused trouble in the dressing room, despite his limited opportunities, and Moyes could reward his character soon.
Fans would certainly like to see the Toffees invest heavily in a new quality right-back, with Jake O'Brien being played out of position by Moyes.
Seamus Coleman has left the Blues, and Nathan Patterson is also expected to depart the club in the coming weeks.
Another position the Merseyside outfit should look to strengthen is up top, a move that will undoubtedly require significant investment.
A new striker could potentially cost a lot and Jack Grealish's possible return to Hill Dickinson Stadium won't come cheap either.
As a result, Moyes may not have the funds to get a new left-back if Aznou is sent on loan, giving the youngster a potential lifeline.
