00:00And well, just looking at a specific player, Drissacan again,

00:03obviously when he came back to Everton for a great deal

00:07in terms of his output since, he's been fantastic.

00:11What do you sort of make of his season

00:13and the last sort of, you know, since he rejoined the club

00:17and how sort of close he is to the fans as well

00:19and how you sort of look at his game

00:21and you can tell that he's been at the very, very top level of football

00:24and it's been a really, you know, good deal for Everton

00:27to have him back in the side.

00:28What's the sort of take on him and his impact

00:31and then also his future moving forward?

00:34I think he's had his best season this year.

00:37I think he's been absolutely unbelievable

00:40and just got stronger and stronger as the seasons wore on.

00:44Maybe he wasn't quite suited to the way Frank Lampard's plays

00:47when he was brought in, but improved on Sean Dyche

00:53excellent last season, this season.

00:55And he's just, he's gone up another notch.

00:58It's almost like, you know, he was brought in as a young student,

01:03just sort of on and up with trajectory.

01:05And, you know, if he was 10 years younger,

01:07you'd be thinking like when he went to PSG,

01:09we're going to lose him soon.

01:10Because he's been, he's been that good.

01:14It's just, you know, it's 85, 36.

01:17He never seems to stop.

01:18So energetic.

01:19And I think he almost knows his limitations now.

01:24And he uses them to an advantage.

01:27You know, keeps things simple,

01:28doesn't try anything out of the ordinary.

01:31And I think maybe that's why he has taken another step up this season.

01:35Now, can I keep hold of him?

01:37Because, you know, discussed how many players are out of contract in the summer.

01:42David Moyes will want some continuity.

01:45And why wouldn't you want a player who is performing to an exceptional level

01:50week in, week out?

01:53But the problem that Evan got is we'll say, you know, links to Saudi Arabia.

02:00We'll address a Ghana game, one of goals, and earn a big payday.

02:04Spend his final days out there.

02:08A little bit of an easier standard.

02:09Well, a much easier standard.

02:11Not take his toll on his body as much.

02:14Means that he can be, you know, carrying on playing for Senegal

02:17for a couple more years, potentially.

02:20Also, he commits his future to Everton

02:22because he absolutely adores playing at Everton.

02:25He left playing alongside the superstars at PSG to return to Everton

02:30because he loves the club that much.

02:32He says it a few times.

02:35It's just maybe, do Everton look at the wage and think,

02:39well, is it worth it or not?

02:40Well, I think, who else do you go and get for a player of that ilk?

02:44I don't think there's a player out there, you know, for another season.

02:48For his wages, there's not another player out there who can do what he does.

02:51So, you'd like to think that Everton can get a deal over the line.

02:55I think it will be in the Dressa Garnagay's course,

02:58whether he stays or not.

02:59So, I think it's a player.

03:00And with the other people, I think, if I'm going to drop in the Dressa Garnagay's course,

03:03you can put together one day.

03:04So, I'm going to see you next time.

03:06You're not going to break in the Dressa Garnagay's course.

03:07Just the first one, though.

03:08And without you wanting to thank him that I need to have a friend,

03:09the Dressa Garnagay's course,

03:11you've got a friend in the Dressa Garnagay's course,

03:13and then I've got the new Dressa Garnagay's course.

03:15So, let's take a couple years ahead of that.
