Everton U21 players to watch out for vs Watford
The obvious name to keep an eye on will be Graham. Tait was blown away by Graham last week after he scored four goals against Ipswich.
However, there will be an interesting decision needing to be made by David Moyes ahead of Friday.
With Beto remaining a potential doubt for the West Ham trip, Graham could be an option for Moyes in what would be his first senior call-up.
It is not just the 18-year-old who is shining for Everton this season.
The 16-year-old Shea Pita is also making a real name for himself in the U21s side of late.
Having received the call-up from Keith Southern’s U18s, Pita has also been among the goals, with a goal and an assist in his last two outings.

Everton have an abundance of attacking talent coming through their ranks, with another opportunity to impress on Friday evening against the Hornets.
