Isaac Price left delighted to make Everton debut

Isaac Price was left delighted to make his Everton debut in defeat to Arsenal on final day of the Premer League season.

The 18-year-old confessed his legs “went like jelly" when summoned by manager Frank Lampard to replace Tom Davies with 12 minutes remaining at the Emirates Stadium.

“It was surreal [featuring against Arsenal] and one of the best days of my life," Price told evertontv.

“To play in the Premier League, the top league in the world, is amazing.

“My legs went like jelly when I was told I was going on. I have been at Everton since I was seven and it is a dream come true.

“The nerves settled down a bit, you start to settle into the game and can't hear as much going on.

“You are just focusing on trying to play well and do the right things.

“I have been to all of Everton's home games since I was seven and was a ball-boy when I was 11 and 12. It [playing for the First Team] has been on my mind since then.

“To do it is unreal.

“This has given me everything I need, the little bit I got [on the field], I just want more now. I don't think I will be taking much rest over the summer.

“I will be wanting to get back at it and be ready for pre-season and to get more minutes and play more regularly in the First Team."
