David Henen is likely to stay at Everton beyond this summer, according to the striker’s agent.

The Belgian has spent this season on loan at Goodison Park, playing in the Blues’ U21 squad, but is now due to return to parent club Olympiacos.

But the 19-year-old’s representative, Christophe Henrotay, says he is due to meet with Roberto Martinez soon, and says the indications are that Henen will stay on Merseyside.

He said: “I have to quickly meet Martinez. But all the signals go in the direction of exercising the option (of a permanent deal).”

Henrotay added: “He really changed beyond all recognition. The reports of Martinez and the U21 coach are very favourable. Both praise his mentality, his involvement and his integration.”

Henen, who joined Olympiacos from Monaco last summer, scored nine goals in 19 appearances at U21 level for Everton, but failed to make a senior outing.
