Oxford Utd have completed the signing of Stan Milss on loan from Everton U21s.
Sean Dyche has let the youngster head out on loan this summer to give him a shot at regular minutes while multiple EFL sides have enquired about the 19-year-old.
This suggests that Mills is not ready to make the massive step up from playing Under-21 football to training with the first team and maybe seeing Premier League action from the bench despite making two appearances last season in the Carabao Cup.
Mills plays as a right-winger primarily and he’s been prolific there at youth level. He netted 13 goals in 21 games across all competitions last season.
Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell said: “Stan has made encouraging progress through our academy, resulting in competitive action and training sessions with our men’s senior team.
“His move to Oxford United is his first loan switch and will provide him with vital experience in League One to support the next phase of his development.”

Give a recall clause just in case we need him at any point during the season.

So has the game at senior level become that much faster and physical while the junior level has stood still or is there something not quite right with the present day set up as I can't see how lower level clubs coaches are so much better at getting the best out of these youngsters, or is it the fear of failure and the monetary loss that comes with it?
And again, who are the Burnley or West Brom of the '60s finishing schools today, albeit legend has it that Alan Ball was turned down a couple of times as too small.

I will try to go watch when he's playing Bristol Rovers, which is the closest team to my home these days.
And how proud must Danny Mills be after his own half- decent career - one son making his way in professional football and the other already British 1500 metre athletics champion. Their mother must be very sporty!

League One Champions last season. Now Lewis gets a shot in the Championship. A move up from League One for him too.
Interested to see if his athleticism and ball skill is up to snuff in the Championship.
So that's him added to Lewis Gibson they signed. And Brendan Galloway, remember him? He's with them too.
Good luck to him.

"Dewsnip, who has known Warrington since his Under-9 days at Everton, said, “I know what he is capable of and am pleased we have to have been able to bring him to Argyle. We have had great success in recent seasons with young, hungry, talented loan players joining us, and we look forward to Lewis adding to that list.â€
Good luck, keep developing.

Hope his development continues and he becomes a great asset to Everton in the years ahead.
