Everton’s summer signings have seen mixed success so far.

Players such as Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been excellent for Everton so far and have easily been two of their best players this season.

However, signings such as Thierno Barry have struggled at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the striker still without a goal.

With the January window edging ever closer, David Moyes is going to have to make some tough decisions to get the Toffees’ season back on track.

Yet, as well as signings, the Scotsman may also facilitate exits.

Bryan King: Everton should loan out Adam Aznou

Adam Aznou has been a forgotten man since he signed for Everton in the summer.

The left-back is yet to make a single first-team appearance for the Toffees, and has mainly been on the bench.

Moyes has revealed that he has a plan for Aznou to get him into the first-team. 

However, with his current game time limited, Bryan King exclusively told Goodison News that he believes that Everton should loan to facilitate a loan move for the youngster. 

“I would say a loan move is the best option,” King said.

“I would imagine that there will be plenty of clubs who want to have a look at him, especially in the top half of the Championship.

“I think a loan would be a good. It would be a great help for him and a great stepping stone.

“He’s gone from Bayern Munich and has moved into a similar situation at Everton. I would imagine that chances will come a little bit quicker at Everton.

“If Moyes has said that he’s far above the U21 league, then it’s got to be the Championship for a year really.”

David Moyes should look to give Aznou a chance 

While Aznou may still be young, he should be given a chance in the first team.

According to Sofascore on 3 October, the full-back was impressive during his loan spell at Real Valladolid last season.

Aznou proved to be effective in attack, while also winning plenty of tackles per game.

On top of this, Vitalii Mykolenko hasn’t exactly impressed for Everton this season, and could find himself out of the door sooner rather than later.

Therefore, giving the full-back a run in the team would do little harm, even if it is just for a few matches.
