He has struck up a strong relationship with Rafa Benitez and taken inspiration from the progress of Dominic Calvert-Lewin to put pen to paper on the deal.

Simms has [yet to make his senior debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ellis-simms/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/511550/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) for the Toffees, but has scored plenty of goals at youth level, including a staggering 32 in 21 games in the U18 Premier League in the 2018/19 season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ellis-simms/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/511550/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).
