Everton U21s loan forward Francis Okoronkwo is finally off the mark with Lincoln City after scoring against Barnsley in the Vertu EFL Trophy on Tuesday.

Although he's been involved in most games for Lincoln City since completing his loan move back in August, Okoronkwo has started only one game in League One, being used 8 times as a substitute off the bench. 

The only full game he has completed for the Imps was in a previous Vertu EFL Trophy game against Notts County in early September. 

Considering Everton paid Sunderland £1M for the highly rated youngster as a 17-year-old 4 years ago, his progression so far can best be described as disappointing.
