Everton youngster Jonathan Nsangou celebrating after scoring for Under-18s vs Bournemouth
The 16-year-old is widely regarded as one of the brightest talents emerging at Finch Farm currently.
Announced as one of the Toffees' Under-18 scholars back in July, he's also an England youth international.
Nsangou is a versatile midfielder who, despite his tender age, has already played numerous times for Everton at Under-21 level.
It seems only a matter of time before David Moyes hands him his first-team debut, with his academy exploits growing impossible to ignore.
The starlet may just have given Moyes the final nudge to bring him into the first-team fold after what he's achieved on Saturday too.
What did Jonathan Nsangou do for Everton U-18s vs Bournemouth?
Everton's Under-18s were in Premier League Cup action on Saturday morning.
The young Toffees side took on Bournemouth in an 11am kick-off, and they made light work of the Cherries.
Everton ran out 5-1 winners over Bournemouth, with the game won at half-time.
This was largely down to the exploits of Nsangou, as he scored a first-half hat-trick which was capped off just before the end of the first 45.
44' HAT-TRICK FOR NSANGOU! Great interception from Billington and he finds Olayiwola. Malik charges forward and spots Nsangou's run, playing an inch-perfect ball through Hutchison's neat dummy to find Nsangou, who finishes from close range. [4-1] #EFCU18 https://t.co/H9SuXGaVii

Nsangou gave Everton the lead after just 30 seconds after following up on a shot spilled by the Cherries goalkeeper.
He grabbed his second and the Toffees' third on 27 minutes, shooting across the Bournemouth goal and into the far corner.
Then with 44 minutes on the clock, Nsangou's darting run saw the through ball find him, before he tucked it away from short range.
Nsangou didn't end his impact on the scoreline with his three goals, however.
Nsangou had more than three goal contributions vs Bournemouth
Nsangou certainly seems to have the profile of a deadly goalscorer of the future, but that's not all he's got in his repertoire.
The best forwards are able to supply the goals as well as score them, and the 16-year-old is proving he can do exactly that.
Harry Brookes grabbed Everton Under-18's second goal of the game against Bournemouth, turning home the rebound after Nsangou's half-volley was parried away.
55' GOAL!!!! Kai makes it five! Nsangou's forward run and excellent through ball finds the perfectly-timed run of Hutchison. The Scottish youth international keeps his composure, rounds the keeper and finishes. [5-1] #EFCU18 https://t.co/XofK1kdMFt

When Kai Hutchinson made it 5-1 on 55 minutes, he had Nsangou's driving run and through ball to thank before he took the ball round the keeper and scored.
This means that Nsangou had a direct hand in all five of Everton Under-18's goals against Bournemouth.
Everton's trip to Hull on Sunday in the Premier League will come to soon for him, but he's surely earned a crack at the matchday squad against Chelsea next Saturday.
