Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell has detailed why he believes Jenson Metcalfe is fully deserving of his new four-year contract with the club.
The Blues announced on Tuesday afternoon that the 18-year-old had put pen-to-paper on a deal which would keep him at FInch Farm until at least 2026. The midfielder has been with the academy since the age of five and was handed his debut at under-21 level in April 2021.
A four-year contract for the youngster represents a big commitment from Everton and a belief in his potential. And Thelwell has gone on to explain that he is looking forward to seeing the teenager back on the pitch after his current injury problem.
