Chelsea player Carney Chukwuemeka sends Everton youngster Lewis Dobbin two-word message
Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has sent a two-word social media message to Everton youngster Lewis Dobbin.
The Toffees forward made 54 appearances in all competitions last season while on loan at League One club Derby County.
The 20-year-old is now back at Goodison Park, and has shared on social media that he is looking forward to the new season.
Sharing a photo of himself in the new Everton home kit, Dobbin posted on Instagram: “Ready.”
And among those commenting was Chelsea ace Chukwuemeka, who wrote: “Can’t wait.”
Super talent
Dobbin netted five goals and chipped in with six assists for Derby last season, with his displays seemingly earning him a place in the thoughts of Toffees boss Sean Dyche.
The man in the Goodison Park dugout has sent out a handful of youngsters on loan for the new season, but for now, Dobbin is part of his plans in the upcoming Premier League campaign.
The Toffees have struggled in the final third in recent times, with their failures in front of goal playing a big part in their relegation battles for the last two seasons.
There is, however, still plenty of time remaining in the summer transfer window, and Dyche could let the youngster go temporarily once again in order for the forward to get more regular playing time.
He has a bright future ahead, but it seems best that Dobbin develops his talents elsewhere, with minutes at Everton this season perhaps set to be limited to cup matches.
In other Everton news, Dyche has delivered a Toffees transfer update amid a squad “imbalance.”
