#2 Lucas Digne
Everton might’ve been a bit inconsistent across the season under new boss Marco Silva – although they ended 2018/19 on excellent form – but one player who certainly didn’t struggle for form throughout was their French left-back Lucas Digne. The 25-year old was practically an ever-present for the Toffees – making 35 appearances – and it’d be underselling him to say he’s been fantastic.

Digne excels at making dangerous, direct runs down the left flank – it’s no surprise to see that all 4 of his assists this term came directly from crosses – and he finished the season sitting at the top of the Everton squad list when it comes to key passes, averaging two per game. The Frenchman also chipped in with 4 goals, including an excellent one against Manchester United in April, a game that saw him named Man of the Match.
Despite being linked with a move to Tottenham this summer, most reports suggest that he’ll be sticking around at Goodison Park, which is good news for the Toffees fans who have become accustomed to seeing him dish out damage from the left side. Everton may have thought it’d be tricky to replace Leighton Baines, but thanks to Digne that job has been a lot easier.
