# Everton: Fans react to Thierry Small update

**Many Everton fans have been reacting to an update from Phil Kirkbride on Toffees starlet Thierry Small.**

Writing in his latest piece for [The Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-wait-thierry-small-offer-21019851), the journalist has claimed that an offer of a professional contract is still on the table for the 16-year-old, as he is only eligible to sign a pro deal when he turns 17 in August.

It is not yet clear whether he will sign that deal, as a number of clubs in the Premier League, including both Arsenal and Manchester United, are interested in signing him.

With clubs of that calibre are interested in him, Small is clearly a talent, making his debut for the first team in the FA Cup back in January and duly becoming the [youngest](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9181763/Thierry-Small-Evertons-youngest-player-16-included-FA-Cup-squad.html) player in their history to do so. Thus, the Goodison Park faithful will be hoping that he does end up signing the deal.
