Dylan Thompson

Dylan Thompson joined Everton aged 12, having previously turned out for Blackpool.

An assured, ball-playing centre-back, former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand is his football hero.

His current favourite player is Everton left-back Lucas Digne.

Thompson made seven appearances for Everton Under-18s in 2020/21 and also made his debut for the Blues' Under-23 side. He played the full 90 minutes for David Unsworth's team in an away clash at Wolverhampton Wanderers in December 2020.
