Jonny Evans tipped for Team of Year alongside Virgil Van Dijk: Leicester news
Jonny Evans has had a very impressive season so far for Leicester City. Some even suggest he’s been the Foxes’ best player and one of the premiere centre-backs in the Premier League.
Jonny Evans is yet another vital aspect of this great, contemporary Leicester City team. To be honest, anyone would be lucky to have him: as manager Brendan Rodgers said, ‘he could play for any top side’.
To be in third place in the Premier League means having a solid and fluent defence, Caglar Soyuncu and Evans are a formidable centre-back duo, enabling clean sheets. Choosing between them would be difficult – yet Evans is possibly just slightly more consistent than his partner at the back. Along with being the more experienced player.
Some Foxes supporters even believe that the 32-year-old is Leicester’s Player of the Season this term. That accolade is welcomed by Foxes of Leicester.
Leicester City man in Team of Year?
This week, in a special article revealing elements of Brendan Rodgers’ first year in charge of Leicester City, Telegraph journalist and Midlands football expert John Percy stated his belief that the Northern Ireland international deserved a place alongside Virgil Van Dijk in the premiership Team of 2019/20.
In fact, the trustworthy writer suggested that Evans should be “nailed on” for a spot at centre-half. Therefore making him the second best performer in that position this campaign, according to Percy.
