Player Valuation: £70m
Great news for him and us, how do you view his performance this season?
The harsh bit from me says Evans hasn’t kicked on as well as we hoped he would two years ago. Then he looked like a goalscoring no10 playing behind a striker. Now he’s mainly out on the right and showing his talent in fits and starts. Of the “ front six” players who started the other night against Derby he in my view was the one with the most talent, the one you looked to to turn the game for us , but it did not happen. There have been stories of growth spurts and niggly injuries that have held him back , but the two other outstanding prospects of his year , Feeney and Benigime , seem to have overtaken him in the race to the first team squad. Two years is a good contract , one year on a decent loan and one year back with us to challenge . 19 is too young to dismiss his talent, and it’s right that we give him longer, equally it’s an age where the first smatterings of first team potential should be showing.
Yeh 100% agree he hasn't kicked as much as everyone hoped as a 16 yr old. Still early days for him and hopefully by the end of this contract he might be ready to play premier league football.
