<Next: Everton – Goodison Park for a good day >
Everton has near a full squad to face except our loanee Jo who is not allowed to play.
Because of our one forward formation, we kept rotate only single striker. In the transfer window, we signed Diego Costa and Eidur Gudjohnsen. All existed strikers are faced a lot of internal challenges. So we end up to have an unsettled forward, Benjani. He is not fit in our pre-season due to injury. He need quickly pick up his bit to catch our trainers’ eye.

The 850k transfer will complete on 1st January 2019.
