A number of Everton fans have taken to Twitter to laud Thierry Small after the 16-year-old scored as the Toffees’ under-23s beat West Ham 2-1 on Monday.

Small is attracting plenty of attention at the moment. that the likes of Bayern Munich, Juventus and Arsenal are all monitoring the left-back.

The good news is David Unsworth has that he is confident that Small will stay on Merseyside.

And the youngster has now highlighted how much of a coup that may actually be for Everton with his latest performance.

It was Small who broke the deadlock against the Hammers. The youngster made a late run into the box and unleashed a thunderous drive with his left foot.

It was his first goal for the under-23s this season, having predominantly played for the under-18s in the early stages of the campaign.

The Echo noted that he has recently been training with the first-team with Lucas Digne sidelined. And his goal prompted many Everton fans on social media to tip the youngster to make his senior debut in the near future.

Several labelled the teenager special. And they are convinced that it may not be too long before he is making a further step up and getting that chance from Carlo Ancelotti.

Here is how some of the fans reacted to the clip of his goal…
