“He can play off the left and off the right. He has played as a centre-forward as well which gives me options if I need it, but predominantly I see him on the left or right,” said Moyes.
“He is quite comfortable on either side.”
It has been suggested that George is keen to impress Everton and earn himself a permanent stay beyond his initial loan.
The exact details of Everton’s buy option in the agreement has not yet been disclosed, though.
Moyes is excited with early sightings of George at Everton
It is not just the Everton fans that are getting excited over what they have seen from George in recent days.
Everton fans just want George to be fearless and showcase what he’s seemingly been doing in training during the upcoming games.
“I think he’s settling in fine. He’s had a few days’ training with us now,” Moyes added.
“He’s an exciting young player, which we hope he’ll be able to show in the coming weeks and months.”
Time is of the essence with George given he is only on loan until the end of the season.
If Everton are going to be convinced to sign him permanently, then Moyes is going to need to play him frequently enough to be able to judge him.
