Goals Scored - 9

The Icelandic midfielder was Everton's record signing last season, joining the Toffees from Swansea City for an estimated club record £45m. Sadly, Sigurdsson was unlucky with injuries in his first season, scoring just 4 goals in the Premier League. He ended the season with 6 goals and 5 assists from 33 games, as a knee injury caused him to miss 8 games at the end of the season.

As such, the onus was on the Icelandic midfielder this season to prove his worth and Sigurdsson has been Everton's joint top scorer so far, scoring 9 goals from 23 appearances in the Premier League. He has also registered 3 assists so far and has been Everton's lone shining light in a dismal season.

The Toffees are currently 11th in the league and have lost 6 of their last 10 games, a period where they have won just twice. However, with this season's top goalscoring midfielder in their ranks, Everton still have the ability to turn their season around.
