Unsworth: Henen is showing he can make it in the Premier League
Everton under 21’s manager David Unsworth has been full of praise for on-loan striker David Henen after the Belgian shone once again in a cup game against Sunderland.
The strangest transfer of the summer saw Henen move to Olympiakos before being immediately being loaned to Everton, this after spending a month training at the club, but Unsworth believes that Henen has what it takes to make it in the Premier League if Everton make the deal permanent for £500k.
“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.”
Unsworth added: “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.”
