Everton academy chief Ray Hall is excited about the current crop coming through the system.

He told evertonfc.com: "I wouldn't put pressure on the boys by mentioning them. There are a number of our young players that are well known to our fans already.

"The first team is the next stage and it's difficult. It's not easy for a player to come through. I would never put pressure on a player by saying he'll do this or he'll do that."
