00:00Who is the best youngster at Everton?

00:31I think you could still class Jarrett Bramford as a youngster.

00:34He's still only 22 in terms of Premier League experience.

00:37He's not fast.

00:38I think Sean Dyche has been quite open about that.

00:42He's only had one real season playing regularly in the Premier League

00:45and he's going to make mistakes.

00:47He's had his injury problems this season.

00:50Against Man Utd he maybe showed that he isn't this all-rounded,

00:57cast-iron Premier League player.

00:59He will need a little bit of time to make mistakes,

01:04to be honest, and learn from them.

01:06But if he's still classed as a youngster, which I think he is,

01:10then he's definitely up there.

01:12I think it's difficult for Everton because they have sold a few

01:16of the youngsters to meet PSR rules of league,

01:19but one we did bring in was Timmy Raboon from Aston Villa.

01:25He made a really good start to his Everton career.

01:28He picked up an injury.

01:30I think he's one for the future, really excited about.

01:34Yusef Chimisi, who was brought in from Sporting CP in 2023,

01:41he made decent headway last season and he was really impressive

01:45in pre-season.

01:47He just picked up an unlucky injury before the campaign started,

01:51a three-foot injury.

01:53I think his tendon came off his foot or something,

01:55and he's been ruled out since then.

01:58He looks at a decent prospect.

02:00Everton can keep on honing him.

02:02There's the 17-year-old midfielder Harrison Armstrong,

02:05who the club are really excited about.

02:08He has another good pre-season, as I say, as well.

02:13So he'll be excited to see his development.

02:16Underneath that, you may be looking at some of the under-18s.

02:19Brighton Graham was brought in from Linfield, the RSI,

02:23and has been prolific for Leighton Baines's under-18s.

02:27The goalkeeper, I don't want to botch his name,

02:30but he's a regular for England's under-18s, really highly rated.

02:36He's been linked with Manchester City,

02:38and Everton signed him on a three-year pro deal

02:41when he turned 17, as soon as they could.

02:44It's been difficult for the academy in the past few years

02:47because of what's happened with PSR,

02:49but hopefully now we can see a few more coming through the ranks.
