2017/18 Beni Baningime

[Tilling]

Few questions
is he English ?
if not were is he from ?
has he come through the ranks ?
if not how much did he cost and who did we sign him from and when ?

Beni Baningime joined Everton's Academy at the age of nine.

Born in Kinshasa, Congo, the central midfielder is also eligible to represent England.

He captained the Under-18s to Dallas Cup glory in 2015/16, before continuing to impress for Kevin Sheedy's side a year later.

Baningime, a defensive midfielder, was also handed his Under-23s debut in 2016/17 and became a regular in David Unsworth's Premier League 2 title-winning side.

At the end of the 2016/17 campaign, he scooped the prestigious Keith Tamlin award, named after the Club’s Vice Life President, for his excellence, attitude and application during their time spent in the Academy.

Good luck to him

He isn't ready based on the last time I saw him. Nowhere near playing chelsea.

That being said either he proves me wrong or unsworth gives the lad a chance to play his way into the first 11 this season. Always nice to see kids coming through so another reason to enjoy the game

He and Davies will form the heart of our midfield for a decade. Mark it down.

And what about Dowell?

Bro. If he’s 19, I’m 19.

Not seen much of the ball. But thought he looked confident when in possession and made some tidy passes.

Even if he ran the game and bagged six goals I wouldn't be judging him on tonight. Because he's a teenager on his debut and I'm not a mentalist.

 

[Del-boy]

Too much asking him to come in and play away at Chelsea in this team. Done a few simple passes but not much else.
One for the future.

You just don't understand how this forum works at all.

Looks comfortable on the ball and can move around. Is showing for it.Might need to bring sygi on for him for a bit more creativity tho.

Boom. Sit down.
