Everton need another leader on the pitch and this could be Amadou Onana’s opportunity to shine.
Deprived of Seamus Coleman’s influence after the club captain suffered ligament damage at Leicester City, there is a void on the pitch that must be filled if Everton are to escape relegation.
Coleman’s importance is highlighted most poignantly by his absence - the three dismal collapses to have blighted this season each came when the 34-year-old was unavailable. It is time for another player to step up and showcase his passion and maturity.
