“Everton Academy Star Martin Sherif Fires Strong Message to David Moyes with Stunning Goal for Under-21s
Everton are virtually secure from relegation.
Sitting 15 points clear of the relegation zone with just seven games left, David Moyes is already turning his focus to next season.
The Friedkin Group is preparing for significant investment in Everton’s squad this summer, as the PSR issues are set to be resolved by the end of the financial year in June.
With little to play for in the final stretch of the season, Moyes has a perfect opportunity to evaluate his squad more closely and determine which positions need strengthening.
This period could also offer young players a chance to impress, with one standout under-21s talent making a strong case for inclusion after scoring again on Monday night.
Martin Sherif Strikes Again for the Under-21s
Everton has a proud tradition of developing talented young players, including the likes of Wayne Rooney, Leon Osman, and Ross Barkley.
Now, 18-year-old striker Martin Sherif is emerging as the next promising prospect.
He found the net again on Monday evening in a 4-3 loss to Norwich City, taking his tally to 30 goals for the under-18s and 21s.
With no immediate pressure for results, Sherif’s impressive form suggests he may be nearing a senior debut.
Everton’s coaching staff has been recommending him to Moyes, urging the manager to keep an eye on his development.
Moyes has already named Sherif on the bench seven times since his return to the club in January.
Sherif Set for Action Against Nottingham Forest
With Saturday’s game against Nottingham Forest fast approaching, Sherif will be well-rested and could get some playing time off the bench.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja expected to leave Goodison Park at the end of the season, Everton will be searching for a new striker.
If Sherif can capitalize on any opportunities in the final weeks of the season, he could secure a spot as third or even second-choice striker for next season.
The teenager, who has represented the Netherlands at youth level, is clearly making a name for himself in Everton’s academy system.
