View: Everton wonderkid surely in line for golden opportunity after injury blow

Braiden Graham could be in line to feature for Everton this weekend.

Beto’s resurgence has certainly been something to shout home about, with the 28-year-old having scored four goals in his last three games, while also grabbing an assist.

However, as always with the Toffees, good things never come at once, with David Moyes since revealing that the striker will miss the clash with West Ham on Saturday.

On top of that, the Scotsman has also suggested that Thierno Barry, who would be his typical replacement, will not start the game.

But Beto’s absence due to injury could provide Graham with the chance he has been waiting for.

David Moyes has onderkid to turn to in Beto absence

Graham has been on fire for Everton Under-21s recently, having scored four in the 8-4 win over Ipswich last time out.

It took his tally to 12 in the Premier League 2 this season, with 17 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions.

The teen is at his best when playing centrally, and in Beto’s absence, it could be the perfect chance for him to showcase his quality in that role.

His form this season will have undoubtedly attracted interest in the background, and this is the time for Moyes to demonstrate the pathway to the senior squad for him.

Iliman Ndiaye could be set for different role vs West Ham

With Beto set to miss the game, and Barry seemingly not in line to start, it leaves Moyes with two options.

Either he starts Graham from the off, or plays Iliman Ndiaye through the middle, which he has done several times already over the last few seasons.

That would then leave a gap in the wide areas, with a lack of depth there having been exposed throughout the campaign.

Neverthless, there are options that the Toffees can utilise as the hunt for European football goes on.
