Kenyan star Tyler Onyango has been promoted to the first-team by Everton manager Carlo Ancelloti. The 17-year old has been grinding his way through Everton's youth set up leading up to his latest achievement. Born of a Kenyan father and an English mother, the rising star is yet to be capped by the English national team, making him eligible to play for the Kenyan national team, if he chooses to. "I have been to Kenya many times over the years, most recently in the summer of 2018," he once stated during an interview in which he revealed that he was open to playing for the Kenyan national team. Recently, two young Kenyan international footballers signed new contracts with English National league teams.
