Manchester United youngster Amad could be tasked with operating as a striker for loan club Sunderland following confirmation of Everton's decision to recall striker Ellis Simms.
Like Amad, Simms joined the Black Cats, who are currently fourth in the Championship table, in the summer on a season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old had impressed on Wearside, scoring seven goals in 17 appearances.
His performances and respectable goals tally has meant that Everton, ahead of the second half of the Premier League season, have made the decision to recall him much earlier than planned. He will officially return to the Toffees on January 1 and could be available to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday, subject to clearance being granted.
