Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill says Everton forward Braiden Graham is not being rushed into settling on a single position. O’Neill adds that it is important not to “pigeonhole” the player as he continues to develop.
The comment comes as Graham’s role at club level is still evolving, with his best position described as something that may become clear over time rather than immediately. Both outlets frame O’Neill’s message as a call for flexibility, emphasizing that Graham should be allowed to find his optimal fit through experience and training rather than being locked into one specific role. The coverage focuses on O’Neill’s approach and offers limited additional detail about tactical plans or match outcomes, centering instead on the manager’s view of Graham’s development.
