Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has starred for Everton so far.
Dewsbury-Hall joined Everton earlier this summer in a £25million deal, and he has hit the ground running on Merseyside.
The former Chelsea ace has quickly become one of the first names on David Moyes‘ teamsheet, after his impressive performances in the first couple of Premier League matches.
The 27-year-old is expected to continue for Everton when they face local rivals Liverpool in their next match.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall snubbed for BBC Goal of the Month as Liverpool man wins
Dewsbury-Hall’s best showing for Everton came in the 3-2 win over Wolves, as that is when he got his only contributions so far.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The goal was an absolute rocket, as he picked up a beautiful chipped pass from Jack Grealish and smashed beyond Jose Sa.
The strike was nominated for the BBC’s Goal of the Month award on Match of the Day, but the Blues star was not even named in the top three in a brutal snub.
Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai was named as the winner with 44 per cent of the vote, with Richarlison in second with 21 per cent and Rio Ngumoha third, with 11 per cent.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall deserved to finish in the top three
Dewsbury-Hall‘s effort was arguably unlucky to finish outside of the top three, as the execution on the finish and the pass beforehand from Grealish were perfect.
Ngumoha’s strike was very good, given the circumstances, the fact that he was 16 (he has since turned 17), and the fact that it was a first-time finish and a last-gasp winner, but the Blues man’s effort was harder to execute.
Richarlison’s effort was another good one, but again, Dewsbury-Hall’s was from a harder angle and much more stunning from a visual perspective than the bicycle kick from the ex-Toffees ace, so he has been robbed of a top-three finish.
Szoboszlai’s cannot really be argued against, unfortunately, as it was in a clash between the two title favourites, and it was a superb free-kick from an extremely far distance.
Hopefully, the ex-Leicester ace can take his frustration out for not being recognised on the Reds, when the sides meet on 20 September.
