Katia Kouyate as signed pro terms with Everton.

The Liverpool Echo says the 17-year-old, who is part of Paul Tait's under-18 setup, has signed a three-year deal which will keep him at the club until June 2023.

The forward, who can play as a central striker or from either flank, has been with the club's academy since the age of eight and has now been rewarded for his impressive development throughout his time with the Blues.

Kouyate is a highly-rated member of the youth setup using speed and skill to his advantage, and the Manchester-born attacker is eligible to represent both England and the Ivory Coast at international level.

The forward will be looking to help Tait's Everton U18s side kick off their season in style this weekend when they face Blackburn at Finch Farm on Saturday.
