Everton fans here in the Tavern are praying that their side can improve on this season, after making one of the worst starts in the club’s history under Ronald Koeman.
The Toffees have certainly enjoyed better seasons in the Premier League as the current campaign has been a struggle, with an early-season relegation scare haunting many of our local Evertonians. However, Sam Allardyce has redefined the Blues’ campaign as they remain on course for a top-half finish, with plenty of time to make improvements for next season.
Indeed, Everton welcomed Wayne Rooney back to Goodison Park in the summer months, and it’s certainly been worthwhile for the Toffees as the 32-year-old is into double figures for the campaign. And, the Blues will be desperate to pull off another piece of brilliance on the transfer front in the summer, as they’ll look to challenge for a European place next season.
Nevertheless, here’s a look at TWO players that can be as good as Wayne Rooney next season…
Ivan Marcano
Ivan Marcano has enjoyed an incredible season with current club FC Porto in Portugal as one of the standout performers in all competitions.
Indeed, the Spaniard is a solid centre-back that’s added goalscoring to his game in the current campaign, with a handful of goals under his belt as one of the hottest topics in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Therefore, Marcano can be as good as Rooney if he decides to join in the summer transfer window, as an accomplished defender that can also help out in the final third for the Toffees.
Mariano Diaz
Mariano Diaz has established himself as one of the most exciting products in the French Ligue 1 this season, with many of our local residents urging the club to bring him to Goodison Park in the summer.
Indeed, the Spanish-born striker has been sensational for current club Olympique Lyonnais, with a load of goals and assists to his name thus far in what’s been his breakthrough season .
Therefore, Mariano can be as good as Rooney if he signs in the summer transfer window, having shown that he has what it takes to score bags of goals in Europe and domestically.
