It’s been a really difficult season for Everton left-back Adam Aznou.
When Everton landed Adam Aznou’s signature from Bayern Munich last summer, many expected him to be a key fixture in David Moyes’ side.
However, Moyes hasn’t given Aznou a single minute of Premier League football so far, despite impressing in a cameo appearance against Sunderland in the FA Cup last month.
Everton fans, let’s hear your score predictions for the game with Bournemouth!
Recent results suggest this could be a tough test… 🤔

Aznou hasn’t even been in the matchday squads lately and now the Everton boss has made fresh comments which aren’t very encouraging.
Adam Aznou’s Premier League debut isn’t coming any time soon
Moyes made some indirect comments about Aznou in his pre-match Bournemouth press conference on Monday.
And, it very much suggests that the 19-year-old won’t be getting opportunities in the first team anytime soon.
“The biggest thing is the level of the Premier League. The number of young players in the Premier League sadly is probably lower than it’s ever been, the amount of young players who are getting opportunities.”

Moyes continued: “Those young players have got a lot to do. You’ve got to work incredibly hard. They’ve got to have the physicality, the capabilities to cope in the Premier League and what’s required to do that.
“The speed, obviously the football awareness and desire to be at the level they are.”
Adam Aznou provides much more going forward than Vitalii Mykolenko
Moyes’ approach with Aznou is quite strange, as he looked excellent against a Premier League side in Sunderland last month.
Aznou surely has to be handed more minutes after THAT display…😫
He showed more in his cameo than Mykolenko has all season

The Barcelona youth product provided a great attacking threat, which is certainly a drawback in Vitalii Mykolenko’s game.
Moyes was willing to let Aznou leave on loan in January, but nothing materialised despite interest from Spain.
Seamus Coleman has been mentoring Aznou behind the scenes at Finch Farm, urging him to remain patient.
But, at the moment, he’s not even getting a sniff to show what he’s about to Moyes.
