And Ebbrel, the assistant manager for the side, sees a natural goalscorer in Simms.
“What I do know with Ellis, if he ends up one-vs-one with the goalkeeper, he’s scoring,” Ebbrell told the Liverpool Echo. “From experience, I know if you have time to think for that finish it can be difficult but Ellis is really calm and composed in those situations. He very rarely misses.”
