Toffees ace Digne was named the Fans’ Player of the Season and also shared the Players’ Player of the Season award with Idrissa Gueye.
Everton have announced that Lucas Digne has won the Fans’ Player of the Season award, while the Players’ Player of the Season award is being shared for the first time as the left-back and midfielder Idrissa Gueye were given the accolade.
Digne joined the Toffees from Barcelona in August 2018 on a five-year deal for £18.1million (Transfermarkt) and made his debut on 11 August 2018 in the last four minutes of a 2–2 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers (BBC Sport).
The 25-year-old has become a firm fan favourite at Goodison Park thanks to his impressive performances and work rate on the left flank, which have yielded four goals and four assists in 35 Premier League games (Transfermarkt).
Gueye, meanwhile, has been a rock in defensive midfield for Everton thanks to his work rate, ability to intercept the ball, tackling credentials and all-round protection of the back four, not to mention his consistency during a fairly inconsistent season for the team as a whole.
Here is how the Toffees Twitter feed announced the news on Tuesday evening:
