STAN COLLYMORE TELLS 22-YEAR-OLD EVERTON PLAYER WITH ‘INTELLECT’ TO LEAVE THIS SUMMER
Stan Collymore has urged one Everton player to leave Goodison Park in the summer transfer window.
Everton are having a very bad and difficult time, both on the pitch and off it.
The Merseyside club have financial issues, there have been points deductions, and the team is not doing well on the pitch.
There is a very distinct possibility that Everton could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Sean Dyche’s side are 16th in the Premier League table at the moment with 27 points from 31 matches.
The Toffees are two points above third-from-bottom Luton Town, who have played 32 matches.

Former Aston Villa and Liverpool striker Stan Collymore rates one particular Everton player highly and thinks that he is too good to stay at Goodison Park beyond the end of the season.
The pundit believes that Everton defensive midfielder Amadou Onana would get into any top team and has urged the 22-year-old Belgium international to leave in the summer transfer window. He was linked with Arsenal in the January transfer window.
Amadou Onana given advice on Everton future
Collymore wrote about Onana in CaughtOffSide: “We’re getting towards the end of the season and then the interminable ‘who’s going where?’ will start so I may as well start us off with six players.
“Six players that if they don’t move this summer will all be showing a distinct lack of ambition.
“Firstly, Amadou Onana. He could add steel and intellect to any top six side’s midfield.
“He’s still only 22, but is a colossus of a man who is only going to get better when surrounded by better players.”
Amadou Onana should not rush into leaving Everton
In my opinion, Amadou Onana should not rush into leaving Everton at the end of the season, especially if the Toffees stay up.
I think that the youngster needs to evaluate all of his options in the summer transfer window.

Everton are a big club, and Onana is only 22. He is still developing and progressing.
Just look at how some young players are struggling at Chelsea. Moises Caicedo and Mykhailo Mudryk have failed to make a huge impact at Stamford Bridge.
It should be a warning to young players such as Onana not to rush into moving after doing well at a club for a relatively short time.
