Tom Davies is being tipped as a future Everton captain by the man who discovered him.

Everton scout Paul Judic spotted the future Blues midfielder playing for a junior team in West Derby after his parents brought him along to join in with coaching sessions.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "The way Tom's attitude is and how hard he works, he can go as far as he wants.

"I don't want to put too much pressure on his shoulders, but for me, the perfect story would be for Tom to be playing in an Everton side with other academy graduates and become an integral part of a successful team.

"To see him captain Everton would be an absolute dream come true and to see him pull on a senior England shirt too."
