Everton have blown everyone away with their start to the 2020/21 season.

The Toffees have won every game across all competitions, and currently sit top of the Premier League with 12 points from 12.

Carlo Ancelotti has been working his magic at Goodison Park after arriving on the scene last Christmas, and bought superbly well in the international transfer window.

Everton fans have been raving about the impact made by James Rodriguez, Allan, and Abdoulaye Doucoure, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been on fire with nine goals in six games.

There has been so many fine individual showings so far, but arguably there is one player no one is really talking about who has the potential to be key in 2020/21.

Seamus Coleman has quietly gotten back to his pre-injury level.

The 31-year-old is seemingly nearing the end of his career, but his last five outings for the Toffees have been highly impressive.

TBR View – A new lease of life for Coleman

Coleman has been a man reborn in 2020/21, but is yet to truly get the proper acknowledgment – at least from neutrals and pundits.

The likes of Rodriguez and Calvert-Lewin have understandably been hogging all the attention, but Coleman has been brilliant marauding down the right for Everton.

Last term, fans were worried he was on the decline, but his partnership with Rodriguez seems to have instigated a new lease of life for the £70,000-a-week (Spotrac) former Sligo Rovers youngster.

He may not yet have any goals or assists to his name, but Ancelotti’s tactics combined with the quality of Rodriguez could see the overlapping Coleman actually become a key man for Everton, as the club go in pursuit of a place in Europe.
