Everton manager Ronald Koeman has said he would like more Premier League managers to give young players a chance.

Koeman has overseen Tom Davies and Mason Holgate's rise to the first-team at Everton this season and signed 19-year-old Ademola Lookman from Charlton this month, but he is worried other managers are not taking the same risks.

"Clubs in the Premier League have bought many foreign players over the years and I acknowledge that sometimes it is necessary," he said.

"But here in England, my admiration for the bulk of talent in the academies has grown massively. I admire the attitude, the spirit and the values of young English footballers. They have an incredible desire.

"I have no worries about their motivation and I feel I actually have to slow them rather down than push them forward. Young British players have a spirit, which I don't see in the Netherlands or other countries where I used to work.

"There is a different culture here. The problem is that managers here wait a long time before they launch young players.

"If a player has the talent, my motto is that you must give him the stage to show it. But maybe it is because I am Dutch and I am used to throwing the boys in at the deep end."
