Morgan Schneiderlin is set for a major Everton role this season.
Marco Silva is looking to bring an attacking style of football to his Everton side at Goodison Park, which is quite a shift from former boss Sam Allardyce.
The Portuguese manager is renowned for his expansive style of football and Toffees supporters are expecting to see a lot more possession this season, with some hopeful of a push towards the European positions.
Silva is going to need a number of key players on the pitch implanting his ideas, but there may not be a more important player to him than midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.
The 28-year-old appears to have rediscovered his best form this calendar year and can be a mainstay in the starting XI.
He originally cost the Merseyside club £24million (Sky Sports) to buy from Manchester United in 2017 and now may be the time for him to start repaying that fee with consistent displays.
Schneiderlin is a defensive midfielder that can help anchor the backline and the team miss his stability in the centre of the park when he doesn’t play.
The Frenchman has an excellent range of passing and can help the transition from defence to attack.
Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott are the attacking players that are likely to take the headlines, but Schneiderlin will get through a lot of unsung work.
