Baningime, 19, won the Keith Tamlin award last year which recognises upcoming talents at the club.
He signed his first professional contract a year ago but is out of contract next summer and Everton want to tie him up on a new deal to stave off rival interest.
The teenager will hope to follow the likes of Tom Davies and break through into the first-team ranks under Ronald Koeman.
