Everton are looking to mount a challenge for a European spot this season.
David Moyes has been clear in his desire to return Everton to Europe, and they’ve made a decent enough start to do so.
Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been super additions and have certainly taken the Toffees up a level.
Michael Keane has also impressed in the absence of Jarrad Branthwaite, who has been out through injury.
Joe Hart has now come out and hailed another Everton star who has been truly ‘excellent’ this term.

“He’s been excellent. Absolutely excellent. Faultless for England. He’s taken them to places, you know, I personally couldn’t take them, took them to the latter end of all the tournaments that he’s played in.
“He’s performed consistently well for Everton.
Jordan Pickford could retire at Everton
Since joining from Sunderland in 2017, Pickford has now firmly established himself as a modern-day Everton legend.
The 31-year-old became a perennial point saver during the tough times battling relegation, and many would argue he was the main reason the Toffees managed to stay up.
Pickford remains one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and the club are in talks to renew his contract.
In fact, Everton are keen to offer Pickford a contract which will keep him on Merseyside until he hangs up the gloves.
