Everton Under 21 boss David Unsworth says that Belgian youngster David Henen is making good progress in becoming an Everton player.

The 18 year old was signed in a strange deal on deadline day last August which involved him signing for Olympiakos and then being immediately loaned to Everton, and Unsworth says he is learning all the attributes needed to become a first team player at Goodison Park.

“He’s young boy, he’s 18, in a different country, he’s learning the language, he’s learning his trade and he’s learning the Everton way,” said Unsworth.

“He is also learning that work ethic and you could see him last night, he has covered some distance. His willingness to run in behind and work for the team is fantastic so I am delighted for David.

“He’s got tons of ability and you can see the talent he’s got but there is more you need in the Premier League.

“You need that work ethic and that desire and he is certainly showing that. He has got better and better as the season has progressed and he’s got stronger. He has worked really hard in the gym and he’s a joy to work with, as all the players are.”
