#7 Gylfi Sigurdsson: Everton
Ahead of the season, Ronald Koeman had seemed to have struck gold by securing the signature of Sigurdsson for a club record fee. The playmaker was highly influential for Swansea in the past and Everton’s move was a statement of intent and ambition from the club.

He was signed along with Wayne Rooney and the duo was expected to propel the Toffees to greater heights. However, his form has been extremely uninspiring as he has scored just 4 goals and assisted thrice in 27 appearances.
Sigurdsson was deprived of proper pre-season training and hence his fitness levels were low in the early stages of the season. However, over the course of the season, he had enough time to improve his fitness and propel the team up the table.
The midfielder has often been shunted wide on the field and hence the team hasn’t been able to make the best use of his vision and widespread passing range. His set-piece deliveries have been poor as well and nothing seems to be going well for the player.
