And fans piled into the replies with their messages of support for Nelson, who has two goals and an assist in his two Premier League games this season.
One said: “I can feel the greatness coming.”
Another added: “Am happy for our boy Reiss Nelson, if their is one player I always wish to flourish is this guy.”
And a third commented, referring to Folarin Balogun: “Hale End winning us the league and winning the golden boot in France. We are eating good this season.”
Nelson – whose current contract expires this summer – is unlikely to be ready to be involved at Everton on Saturday having only just got back out on the grass again.
