Everton's academy are hoping to provide more and more talent to David Moyes' senior squad next season.
Director Ray Hall told evertonTV: "We're actually looking the change and increase the numbers (of young players) that we can supply the manager with.
"It is a big ask, but we're trying to make improvements all the time.
"We are all aware of the situation the Club is in - just away from the top four, but very close to it. And our job now is to supply the manager with more players, who will be around the place for a long time, in the same manner that Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman are."
