Everton defender Ryan Astley has been offered a new contract.

The Liverpool Echo says the 19-year-old will miss the final four games of the under-23 season after suffering a torn thigh.

Astley would be able to leave Goodison Park on a free transfer this summer and Everton have tabled a two-year deal.

The centre-back has become an u-23 regular under David Unsworth since making his debut as a 16-year-old in 2018 and also earned a call-up to the Welsh under-21 side earlier in the season.

He has also been involved in first-team training under Carlo Ancelotti with Astley praising the 'man-management' of the Italian.
