Conor Grant; One to Watch?

Michael Kenrick , 13 July, 0comments | Jump to most recent

While all the focus seems to be on incoming transfers, Conor Grant was perhaps a surprise name added to the Austrian pre-season training camp from Everton's Under-21 ranks. The 18-year-old winger is hopeful he can get some time on the pitch tomorrow against Austria Vienna.

“It's been a very good experience so far,” the teenager told evertontv. “I found out the day before that I was coming. Obviously, it was fantastic to hear about it and I'm made up to be here.

“I'm learning every day and I'm trying to pick things up from the players. A lot of them are people I've been looking up to for years, even coming to watch them, so it's great to be with them trying to pick things up.

“All the senior lads have been very good to me and I've got four or five lads here from the Under-21s who have been good and who I've been hanging around with.

“All the lads have made me feel welcome and that's good as a young lad. That [to play on Sunday] would be brilliant. I'm feeling good, so hopefully I will get a few minutes under my belt.”
