Jamie Redknapp has spoken highly of Everton attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson in The Daily Mail following his performance against Crystal Palace this past weekend.

Sigurdsson featured for Everton in their Premier League match against Leicester away from home at the King Power Stadium.

The 29-year-old Iceland international scored the winner for the Toffees in their 2-1 victory with a brilliant goal in the 77th minute.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Redknapp was impressed with the display produced by former Spurs star Sigurdsson.

Redknapp wrote about Sigurdsson in The Daily Mail: “The Iceland midfielder is a wonderful talent but he is a confidence player. I don’t think he settled in at Everton last season following his club-record £45million move.

“He struggled to cope with the price tag, his role in the team and the managerial instability. Now, he has a coach in Marco Silva who is unlocking his full potential.”

Meanwhile, former Arsenal attacking midfielder Paul Merson has praised 26-year-old Everton winger Bernard for his performance against Leicester.

Merson told Sky Sports about Bernard: “First half, he was outstanding. I mean, What a footballer he looks.

“Typical little winger, beach player, good on the ball, comfortable. He was different class.”
