Everton Uncover Their New Ross Barkley in “Magic” Star Dwight McNeil

After struggling to find consistency in recent seasons, Everton may have discovered their new attacking midfield ace in Dwight McNeil. The 24-year-old has been impressive in his new role, drawing comparisons to former Toffees favorite Ross Barkley.

Barkley’s Legacy at Everton

Before joining Chelsea in 2017, Barkley was a beloved homegrown talent at Goodison Park. His stellar 2015/16 season, where he scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists, showcased his potential. However, his departure left a void in Everton’s attacking midfield.

McNeil’s Emergence

McNeil, signed from Burnley, has flourished under Sean Dyche’s guidance. Deployed as a winger initially, he’s now excelling in the number ten role. His statistics demonstrate his impact:

• 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 games as an attacking midfielder
• 1 goal and 1 assist in 1 game as a secondary striker

A Masterstroke by Dyche

Dyche’s decision to play McNeil centrally has paid dividends. The youngster’s freedom to roam and create has led to impressive performances, including a stunning strike against Crystal Palace.

“Magic” Talent

Labelled “magic” by football journalist Joe Thomas, McNeil is becoming Everton’s breakout star. If he continues to shine, he may join Barkley in Everton’s attacking midfield lore.

Next Challenge

As Everton face Ipswich Town next, McNeil’s form will be crucial. Can he maintain his impressive run and cement his status as the Toffees’ new attacking midfield ace?
