Everton have new blueprint for young stars with George Morgan move on the cards
Everton youngster George Morgan could return to Cannes next season.
The 19-year-old spent the second half of last season with the French outfit away from Merseyside.
The Blues gem notched two goals in 12 matches, helping them to achieve promotion to Ligue 3.
Now, the striker could be loaned back to The Dragons in a move that could signal a blueprint going forward for the rest of the academy.
The Friedkin Group would be silly not to take advantage and help their young stars to grow using this method.
What is the latest on Everton talent George Morgan's future?
The blueprint is to keep sending their talents to Mathieu Chabert's side to allow them to develop.
The Toffees' owners are also involved with the French Riveira outfit, holding the majority of shares.
A report from Foot National on Sunday claims that they could use those connections to send Morgan back for another campaign.
It states that the Welsh forward is viewed as the final addition by the club's board.
The deal will hinge on David Moyes, as he apparently wants to see the six-cap Under-19 ace in training before letting him leave on a temporary basis.
Why it could provide the blueprint going forward
The Friedkin's need to lean into their multi-club model more, as it could benefit all clubs involved.
The Blues are the biggest in their portfolio, that also includes Italian side Roma, and need more youngsters like Harrison Armstrong in the squad.
That is probably a level too high to ask academy players to go and play regularly, but Cannes presents the perfect opportunity.
The youth stars of the next generation can go and play senior football, and they may help another one of the owners' clubs to achieve great things in the process.
It is a no-brainer for the Blues and for the ownership group to take advantage of those links, and should become the blueprint going forward, if Moyes sanctions an exit.
It would allow players to go and learn about the rigours and demands of the professional game, without the pressure that comes with playing in the English system.
Whether they do so remains to be seen, but it almost makes too much sense.
