Ancelotti set to hand Nigerian youngster EPL debut
Nigerian youngster Dennis Adeniran is set to make his Premier League bow with Everton under new boss, Carlo Ancelotti, who is considering handing the winger his EPL debut.
Adeniran has been impressive with the U-23 side and has trained with the senior team a couple of times under former manager Marco Silva.
But, Ancelotti is said to be interested in the the development of the England youth international of Nigerian descent and has lined him up for game time this season.
According to Liverpool Echo, David Unsworth, the Toffees’ U-23 boss, suggests Adeniran’s involvement with the first team was sanctioned by the Italian.
“He’s been training with the first-team,” Unsworth said.

“He’s been in-and-around the first-team squad, so it was a great opportunity for someone like Einar (Iversen) to come and play a game tonight.
“There’re no issues with Dennis, hopefully he can get an opportunity in the first-team if not on loan, but that’s not up to me,” he stated.
