Niels Nkounkou: Who is Everton wonderkid?

While Everton’s trio of high-profile summer recruits—James Rodriguez, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan—have stolen the headlines during the Toffees strong start to the season, new arrival Niels Nkounkou has also got fans excited at Goodison Park.

The Merseysiders sit atop the table after three matches, having taken a maximum nine points so far taking in victories over Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace.

They’ve also progressed in the Carabao Cup, easing past lower-league pair Salford City and Fleetwood Town to set up a meeting with West Ham United on Wednesday.
