Everton resist Lewis Warrington loan offers amid first-team chance
Everton teenager Lewis Warrington could find himself in Frank Lampard’s first team during the 2022-23 season, according to i news.
The 19-year-old has been the subject of a number of loan offers already this summer after a good spell at Tranmere Rovers in League Two last season but the Toffees have resisted them so far.
The Everton manager is keen to see whether Warrington, from across the Mersey in Birkenhead, can make the step up to the first team at Goodison Park and has taken him with the group on their tour of the United States of America this summer.
Lampard is keen to replicate the success he had at Chelsea in bringing through young players from the academy as well as buying players with more potential than experience.
Lewis Dobbin, Ellis Simms and Nathan Broadhead are three strikers he is keen to keep an eye on as is midfielder Isaac Price who was included in a handful of Premier League and FA Cup squads last season.
Love it
The one thing that unites every fan within a club is giving our own talent a good go at succeeding in the big time and that seems to be the main priority for Lampard this season.
It might not happen straight away and we have to expect that more signings will be made other than the free transfer of James Tarkowski from Burnley but room has to be made for these kids to flourish.
Anthony Gordon has already set the tone with his passionate and hair-raising performances last season helping to keep us in the league as it got close to crunch time and there are more in the academy that can do that.
Warrington may well be the perfect player to blend into the Everton midfield and make everything tick the way it failed to last season but we won’t know until he is given the chance and that looks like it may be about to come for him and many others.
