Hallam Hope is tipped for big things at Everton.

The Liverpool Echo says Kevin Sheedy's u-18s have had another progressive campaign, which could yet end with winning the Liverpool Senior Cup.

They might not have repeated their title winning coup, but this season has seen players like Hallam Hope, Ross Barkley and Matthew Pennington grow in stature - with Hope in particular displaying the type of fine goal scoring form which may even save David Moyes a few million quid in the future.
