Everton forward signs new contract after call-up to first-team training

Katia Kouyate has explained the talents he hopes to bring to Everton's first team in the future after signing a new contract with the club.

It was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that Everton had agreed a two-year deal with the striker that will keep him at Finch Farm until at least June 2024. Having featured regularly for Paul Tait with the under-18s in the past, Kouyate broke into the under-23s side two seasons ago and has continued to establish himself at under-21 level this season.

The 19-year-old joined the club's academy at the age of eight and has overcome injury issues in recent campaigns. He thanked the club for their show of faith in offering him a new deal and he is hoping he can repay that on the pitch.
