Everton midfielder Kieran Dowell is impressing teammates on-loan at Nottingham Forest.

The youngster is on a season-long deal at the City Ground.

"He has taken first team football in his stride," said Forest teammate Michael Mancienne. "He is playing well, he is confident and he is a good lad as well. He is a good character in the dressing room.

"He just has to keep his feet on the ground and stay hungry. If he can do that, I believe he can go on to do big things in the future."

Dowell is actually Fores's leading goalscorer so far this season with eight goals.
