Isaac Price now unlikely to feature for Everton again
Isaac Price appears to have played his last game for Everton as his exit now seemingly appears to be set in stone ahead of the summer.
The 19-year-old’s deal runs out at the end of the season and it does not seem likely that it will be extended as he has made his mind up to leave.
It’s understood that he’s decided the Toffees aren’t the right club for him and he fancies moving to Standard Liege and getting a fresh start there.
According to the Daily Mail [10 April], despite holding talks with the club over a new contract, he’s close to joining the Belgian club.
Price found a manager who trusted and believed in him in Frank Lampard, but the same cannot be said about Sean Dyche.
The former Burnley boss is also likely to bring in more players over the summer which will further put Price down in the pecking order.
Rather than playing the waiting game, he may think that moving to Liege is a better chance to get first team football and then return to England if that’s what he wants.
Given that his mind is already deciding on leaving Everton, it makes very little sense for Dyche to include him as he’s not going to add much to the team in any way.
In reserve, they’ve got James Garner and Tom Davies and an array of youngsters waiting to step in whenever they’re needed so Price may now just play for the under-21s before he leaves for good in the summer.
