# Pat Nevin believes Gylfi Sigurdsson is “spectacularly special”

**One former Everton player has revealed who he believes is key to the current team and has heaped plenty of praise upon him.**

[According to the club’s official website, Pat Nevin has singled out Gylfi Sigurdsson as a player the team should look to build around.](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2018/09/20/nevin-on-sigurdsson)

The Iceland international has been at Goodison Park since 2017 when he joined from Swansea City and has put in a number of impressive performances so far this season under Marco Silva.

The 29-year-old has already had a hand in the goals, although it is his creativity that has caught the eye of Nevin and he believes the playmaker is a special player.

“I think he is a spectacularly special player that you can build your team around,” he told the [club’s official website](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2018/09/20/nevin-on-sigurdsson).

“His vision is outstanding. When you’re watching the game, and if you’re a creative-type player like I was myself, you see the passes that should be played.

“You get players who make them some of the time but then you see players like him – if the pass is on he *will* make it.

“He won’t leave the ball short, he’ll position it right. He has that gift of spacial awareness.”

## The Verdict:

Nevin, who now works as a football pundit, has made a big claim about Sigurdsson, although it would be hard to disagree with it.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea man had struggled when he first joined the Toffees for a record fee, however, he appears to have been finding his way.

Despite all the signings Silva made this summer to the midfield, Sigurdsson is likely to remain a key part of the side and should he play well, Everton will have a chance of getting a positive result.
