Braiden Graham is focused on breaking into the Everton first team after receiving his first call-up to the Northern Ireland national team. The 18-year-old previously shined at the youth level, scoring 26 goals for Everton's under-21 side last season and earning the Under-21s' Player of the Season award. His impressive performance at the youth level includes nine goals in 13 appearances for Northern Ireland's Under-19 team. Graham was an unused substitute during Northern Ireland's 1-0 victory against Guinea and could debut against France on Monday night. He plans to continue his development and impress manager David Moyes during pre-season, with options for a potential loan or staying at Everton.
