Everton manager David Moyes must regret sanctioning one summer exit following the latest feedback from his current manager.

The Toffees made a total of nine signings over the summer following some significant departures as free agents in June.

Moyes was aware of the huge summer which the club faced to transform their squad under The Friedkin Group.

Everton fans have seen some early promise in the Premier League despite losing in the Merseyside Derby at the weekend.

With some encouraging early results under their belt, Everton were proving a lot of pundits wrong across the league.

But there is one player they allowed to leave on loan this summer who is currently excelling at his current club.

Everton loanee Isaac Heath impressing at Accrington Stanley

Everton allowed Harrison Armstrong to leave on loan on deadline day, as he made the move to Preston North End.

He was not the only youngster to leave on loan, with Isaac Heath also joining Accrington Stanley on loan for the season.

Speaking after their latest game at the weekend, Accrington manager John Doolan waxed lyrical about the Everton loanee.

“You have seen Isaac Heath on the wing there; he is an unbelievable talent, what he is,” said Doolan.

“It is like the trickery that he’s got; he can go one way, he can go the other. He can use both feet; he is nut-megging people.

“And the quality and the composure he has at the end of whatever he does, is outstanding.”

During pre-season training, Heath really impressed the Everton coaches after playing alongside the first-team regulars.

Those on Merseyside will be hoping Heath can now keep a clean bill of health and continue his development with the League Two outfit.

Everton must be excited for what Heath could become

In his opening three appearances for Accrington, Heath has been able to return an assist, which came at the weekend against MK Dons.

Before leaving, Heath inked a new deal at Everton to secure his future on Merseyside.

Of course, a strong loan stint will not guarantee Heath a spot in the senior squad when he makes a return to Finch Farm.

However, Moyes must be excited about the prospect he has on his hands, with the 20-year-old showing his potential out on loan.

Since arriving back in January, Moyes was keen to improve his options out wide, and he got that over the summer.

But having players come through the ranks of the Everton academy will be a huge boost for the Scot.

A fresh start away from Everton could be exactly what Heath needs to catch the eye of Moyes.
