Sean Dyche calls up two Everton youngsters to first-team training at Finch Farm
Sean Dyche hasn’t been shy of giving youngsters a chance at times since taking over at Everton, and he’s now called up two youngsters to his first-team squad.
Everton have had success with Jarrad Branthwaite since he broke into the team after a couple of loan spells, and there are a number of other promising talents at the club.
Harrison Armstrong is one of those players who is slowly making a name for himself in the youth ranks alongside Roman Dixon and Omari Benjamin.
Benjamin is already catching the eye of coaches at Finch Farm with his performances after making the move to Merseyside in the summer.
Sean Dyche was impressed with Dixon when he made his debut earlier on this season, despite a few tough moments for the youngster.
However, two new youngsters have now been called up to first team training.
Isaac Heath and George Pickford called up to Everton training
Sean Dyche has waved goodbye to a number of players for the international break, which has left space for a couple of youngsters to join the first-team squad.
The Everton academy page on X posted the news that two players have been in first-team training.
Isaac Heath and George Pickford have been impressing in the youth ranks, with a call-up to the first-team squad just reward for their efforts.
Isaac Heath and George Pickford’s youth stats
Isaac Heath is a 19-year-old left winger with two goals and one assist in six games this season.
Unlike Armstrong, Benjamin, and others, Heath has performed under the radar and is one to look out for, possibly in the FA Cup.
George Pickford, who isn’t related to Jordan Pickford, is just 17 years of age but is already catching the attention of Sean Dyche.
His record isn’t that great this season, with 13 goals conceded in five games, but the promising signs are there for the tall and impressive young ‘keeper.
