Overview

• David Moyes reiterated that Adam Aznou “has a bit to do” before he can be trusted with senior starts at left-back.
• The summer signing from Bayern Munich, a La Masia product, joined in July for a reported £7.8m after a loan spell at Real Valladolid.
• Injuries and fitness issues have slowed his start, and he was an unused substitute in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Wolves.
• Moyes has preferred out-of-position seniors Seamus Coleman and James Garner at left-back, indicating Aznou is not yet challenging Vitalii Mykolenko.
• While described as above academy level, Aznou could feature for the Under-21s to gain match minutes, and separate reports link Everton with free-agent Sergio Reguilon as experienced cover.
