# Tom Davies to be given new long-term deal

Everton are set to offer Tom Davies a new long-term contract, according to the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-hand-tom-davies-new-11362358?).

The 17-year-old, who only turns 18 at the end of June, has a year left on his current contract but is expected to be offered a new deal following an impressive year.

Following his progression with Everton’s under-21’s, Davies was awarded for his performances by being invited to train with England’s national squad, back in October – just a month after signing his first professional contract.

In his breakthrough year, Davies made his Premier League debut for Everton in April, before running the show as he was named man-of-the-match in a 3-0 win over Norwich City under David Unsworth’s temporary management.

Now it looks likely Davies will become a regular name in Everton’s match-day squads next season under new management.

Unsworth praised Everton’s younger stars, Kieran Dowell and Jonjoe Kenny for their solid displays against Norwich, but gave special praise to Davies.

> In particular, Tom Davies was out of this world.
>
> His individual performance within a team performance – and I’m not massive on individual performances, it’s all about the team for me – but he was outstanding this afternoon.
>
> For me, it was everything we want in an Everton centre midfielder; all-action, good on the ball, spots danger. It was a great midfield performance.
