Everton manager Frank Lampard has spoken of his excitement with a number of players the Everton academy are currently producing. And, the boss admitted that one particular youth star could have an outside chance of involvement against West Ham United on Sunday.
Anthony Gordon has enjoyed a breakout season this term after completing an impressive rise through the ranks at Finch Farm, and has now started every match under Lampard. But it's not just the winger that the new manager has been impressive with in terms of academy products since he has joined.
A number of under-23s regulars have been spotted in first-team training over the course of recent weeks. The senior manager loves being able to bring them into the setup and has praised their previous coaching and attitude when given their opportunity.
