James Tarkowski, Everton’s defender, has praised Seamus Coleman, his teammate, as “priceless” to the club. Coleman, 35, has been offered a new contract, but is still deciding whether to stay at Goodison Park. Tarkowski, who has been a standout performer this season, spoke highly of Coleman’s contributions on and off the pitch.
“Seamus Coleman is the standout one,” Tarkowski said on BBC Radio 5 Live. “He’s incredible. He’s priceless to us. What he brings to the team every day, even when he’s injured, is amazing. He’s selfless and galvanizes us with his speeches before games or training. He’s basically a fan who plays for the club.”
Tarkowski also mentioned other players like Ashley Young, Jordan Pickford, and Idrissa Gana Gueye as being important to the team, but emphasized that Coleman is the most valuable. Coleman’s potential departure after the final game against Arsenal would be a significant loss, as he has been a modern-day Goodison Park legend. He was signed for a minimal fee and has provided exceptional service to the club, making him one of the best-value signings in Premier League history.
Everton fans have also expressed their admiration for Coleman, with many considering him a legend and a true Evertonian. His longevity and dedication to the club have made him a beloved figure, and his potential departure would be deeply felt.
