The Friedkin group should be proud of their business so far at Everton, as one name is certainly shocking teammates.

With the new season almost upon us, David Moyes can see whether his additions will be up for the challenge.

After a summer that has been put quiet for the most part, August seems to be the busiest of the months, and will continue to be with more deals expected.

Everton will step up their transfer plans in search of these new faces, with at least three more targets needed.

But it appears as though one new star is already settling in very nicely, as he is being praised highly in Everton training.

Thierno Barry is a big fan of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at Everton

After his £25 million move from Chelsea, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is already taking the limelight.

This comes after just one appearance, as Everton fans loved Dewsbury-Hall’s debut against Roma, and a promising tenure awaits him.

Thierno Barry is someone who has also been impressed by the midfielder, as the Toffees’ new striker has been left stunned.

“The first time I met him in training, I saw the quality of him,” Barry said to Everton’s website. “I think he can give me [good passes] this season. 

“I’ll try to create [those opportunities] this season. So I try to create a good relationship with him.”

It appears as though the 26-year-old is on the path to success on Merseyside, with Moyes also in awe of Dewsbury-Hall.

The midfielder looks to be doing his job well so far, but the former Chelsea star might question Barry’s start.

After what was a highly impressive debut, Dewsbury-Hall left a serious mark on the fans following his performance at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

His creativity is clear to see, but maybe the midfielder might be questioning why he didn’t grab an assist on his maiden voyage.

This is where the Frenchman comes in, as Barry lacked composure versus Roma, with Dewsbury-Hall’s excellent play not getting rewarded.

It’s harsh to criticise the striker as it’s still early days, and he has now pledged to take the opportunities that his number ten provides him with.

Improvement is needed for the young striker, and he has every chance to score many goals with Dewsbury-Hall behind him.
