Everton are ready to hand midfielder Tom Davies an improved contract to reward his impact in the first team, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.
Davies has been one of the finds of the season for Everton after breaking into the first-team plans of Ronald Koeman.
The 18-year-old midfielder made his debut for Everton last April against Southampton before going to make his first start in the 3-0 victory over Norwich on the final day of the 2015-16 season.
Davies was rewarded for his progress last August with a new five-year deal, but the club are ready to bring him in line with other first-team players as a result of his importance to the side now.
