Everton ran through a series of struggles and failures for many years now. The Toffees tried their maximum best to recover from the setbacks but nothing much changed for them.

I see myself, God willing, at one of the biggest clubs recognised worldwide,” he added in a statement.
Meanwhile, former Belgium coach Roberto Martinez spoke highly of the defensive midfielder. He said, “Off the ball, he is one of the most impressive young players. The intensity, the way he can press, and then it’s that arrival into the box. Sometimes, he reminds you of a young Patrick Vieira in the way that he can drive with the ball.”
