Everton fans won’t believe what Sean Dyche has now said about Dwight McNeil

Everton fans can start getting excited as Sean Dyche believes there is still much more to come from Dwight McNeil in the number 10 position.

The 24-year-old has been in sensational form at the start of the campaign and added to his impressive goal contributions with an assist for Michael Keane in the 2-0 win against Ipswich Town on Saturday [19 October].

McNeil has scored three goals and added three assists from the Toffees’ nine goals this season, and Dyche revealed after Saturday’s victory the Ipswich win – as relayed by the Daily Mail [20 October] – that he believes the best is yet to come from his talisman.

He said: “I’ve known Dwight a long time. The defensive side of the game, he’s got to learn for that position. But we know his offensive game is very good.

“Trying to find that balance, I speak about it all the time, is the hardest thing in football.

Dwight McNeil can be key for Everton this season

Everton are finally up and running in the Premier League, with five points separating themselves and the relegation zone ahead of Crystal Palace travelling to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest on Monday [21 October].

McNeil has breathed new life into the Blues attack and Dyche deserves all the plaudits for integrating McNeil and Ndiaye into his lineup as the pair are proving to be a cut above the rest.

The former Burnley man is emerging as a leader at Goodison Park and should be the first name on the teamsheet every week right now given his performances, with the forward touted as good enough to play for either Real Madrid or Barcelona [talkSPORT].
