With Harrison Armstrong looking like an exciting youth player coming through the ranks at Everton, there could be someone better waiting in line.

The Toffees have already prided themselves on producing elite-level talent from their academy.

From the Wayne Rooneys to the Anthony Gordons, it’s clear that Everton have an excellent platform to build on.

David Moyes will be keeping a keen eye out for these prospects, as Moyes likes Armstrong, and he will be key to his development.

Everton are considering loaning Armstrong again to help him adapt to the English game, but the Toffees boss might have to start thinking about another academy gem.

Everton fans think Braiden Graham will be the next big thing

After previous success stories coming out of Everton, a new one is emerging with Braiden Graham.

The 17-year-old forward is shining for the young Toffees, and continued his promise with a brace in the National League Cup.

Evertonians have got very excited about this performance as Graham has been knocking on Moyes’ door for an early place in the senior squad ever since he arrived from Linfield.

“We have some player on our hands with him btw,” one Everton fan said, as another added: “Elite goal scorer, his record for Linfield youth teams was ridiculous.”

The Blues faithful kept a keen eye on the game, as one supporter said, “Very nice player to watch,” and another thinks his ceiling is very high: “Remember the name.”

One fan even claimed that Graham is better than a current senior squad member: “Better than (Thierno) Barry,” as his best attribute was also labelled: “Scores any type of goal, he’s probably the best finisher at the club. Get ourselves a decent DM and I know what I’d do.”

His future is looking very bright, as surely Graham is destined for his Everton debut soon enough.

David Moyes can make Braiden Graham prediction come true at Everton

The Northern Irish youngster is hoping to make his mark on Merseyside, but the Scotsman will know he has to nurture the prodigy well.

Moyes is already doing so with Armstrong, as Graham is still a bit of time away from having his chance given how the Everton boss previously handled youth.

But Graham could make his Northern Ireland debut soon, as former manager David Healy rates his past talent very highly.

Moyes obviously has the key to making this come true, and just by looking at his coolness in the final third at such a young age shows that the 17-year-old comes with a lot of potential.

Surely Graham will be on the Toffees manager’s radar, as the young attacker looks destined for the top.
