Sam Allardyce to make first big signing at Everton tying youngster Jonjoe Kenny to new deal

SAM ALLARDYCE will make his first major Everton signing by tying Jonjoe Kenny to a new contract.

The 20-year-old right-back is set to finalise talks on a fresh deal, with his current terms running out at the end of next season.

Big Sam will make the youngster a key player after his breakthrough into the first-team this season.

England Under-21 star Kenny started ten matches before last week’s Europa League trip to Apollon Limassol to rest for today’s Merseyside derby.

Kenny, who has been at Goodison since he was nine, has also been impressed with Allardyce’s since taking the reins from David Unsworth, who he worked with in the Academy.

Kenny said: “He has come in with his own ideas and everyone has taken to them.”

“The backroom staff he has brought in have been brilliant and we’ve kicked on.”

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will also be rewarded with a new deal just seven months after he signed a new one.

Calvert-Lewin has been thrust into more first-team action than expected after Everton failed to bring in a new striker in the summer, leading the line in 15 Premier League games and the club want to him reward him for his progress.

Alaves keeps up momentum with win over Las Palmas

Alaves keeps up momentum with win over Las Palmas

MADRID — Alaves defeated Las Palmas 2-0 Friday for its second consecutive victory in the Spanish league, moving a step closer to escaping the relegation zone.

Ibai Gomez scored in the 23rd minute and Munir El Haddadi added another in the 55th at Mendizorroza Stadium, helping the hosts reach 18th place in the standings, just ahead of Las Palmas.

Alaves is level on 12 points with Deportivo La Coruna, the first team outside the relegation zone.

"We just have to keep working and keep believing" El Haddadi said.

Alaves was sitting last entering the previous round, before it hired coach Abelardo Fernandez as its third manager of the season.

Abelardo was already in command when Alaves pulled off a thrilling 3-2 win over Girona by scoring three times in the final 20 minute to erase a two-goal deficit.

"They came out with more intensity. We were not expecting it," Las Palmas midfielder Javi Castellano said.

Las Palmas, now two points behind Alaves, had snapped a five-match winless run by defeating Real Betis in the previous round. It remains without a head coach since firing manager Pako Ayestaran last week. Interim coach Paquito Ortiz was on the bench on Friday.

Las Palmas has only four wins in 17 matches this season.

Barcelona has a five-point lead over Valencia at the top.
