Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Andre Gomes as the ‘best player on the pitch’ after Everton won 2-1 against Leeds United on Wednesday night at Elland Road.
The 27-year-old midfielder, who is on £112k-per-week wages at the Merseyside club, has managed only seven Premier League starts this season.
Since joining permanently from Barcelona in 2019, Gomes has been in and out of the side, with injuries playing a big part. The Portugal international is a top-quality midfielder, and Ancelotti was very pleased with his effort against Leeds.
While the likes of Ben Godfrey, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dominic Calvert-Lewin was impressive for the Toffees, Ancelotti feels that Gomes was the best player on the pitch.
