Everton are poised to offer a new contract to promising young midfielder Beni Baningime.
The Congo-born holding player has been attracting attention from other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, after a string of impressive displays for Everton's U23s — who won the Premier League 2 title last season.
Coach David Unsworth has compared him to N'Golo Kante at Chelsea.

Baningime, 19, won the Keith Tamlin award last year which recognises upcoming talents at the club.
He signed his first professional contract a year ago but is out of contract next summer and Everton want to tie him up on a new deal to stave off rival interest.
The teenager will hope to follow the likes of Tom Davies and break through into the first-team ranks under Ronald Koeman.
