Everton have a huge prospect on their books.
There is a lot of excitement around Finch Farm about Braiden Graham, who is an 18-year-old striker for the reserve side.
Graham, who joined from Northern Irish side Linfield in 2024, netted 21 goals last season, which followed a 13-goal campaign in his first year at Everton.
Where do you stand on Braiden Graham… would you give him his debut? 🎯
Graham has been training with the first team on occasions this year, so clearly David Moyes recognises his potential.
That said, ahead of the summer transfer window, it’s now coming out what the club are planning to do with their prodigy.
Everton plan to assess Braiden Graham in pre-season amid EFL interest
According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton teenager Braiden Graham is attracting interest from clubs in the Football League.
There are opportunities for Graham to play professional men’s football next year by joining a club on a season-long loan.
However, the report further adds that Moyes and his coaching staff are planning to have a close look at the striker in pre-season.

Everton’s preparations ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season begin at the end of June, although many of their first-teamers will be at the World Cup or on an extended break.
That will be Graham’s chance to really make an impression on the manager, so he’ll need to keep himself fit and sharp in the off-season.
Indeed, Moyes is a tough task master for young players, but considering the number nine position is a weak area, perhaps he will be more open to the idea of handing Graham opportunities next term.
It’ll be a pivotal summer for the 2007-born star.
