Jamie O’Hara heaps praise on Everton new signing Conor Coady
Former Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Jamie O’Hara believes that Everton have made a quality signing in Conor Coady.
The 29-year-old joined the Toffees on an initial loan season-long deal with an option to make it permanent.
O’Hara, while talking to Sky Sports, heaps praise on Coady who according to him is a “top” signing for the Merseyside club.
“I think this is a top, top signing for Frank Lampard,” said the 35-year-old. “I am a huge fan of Conor Coady. He is brilliant.”
Leader
Everton had a difficult campaign last time around and one of the reasons which was evident back then was the lack of leadership in the backline which led to the team conceding way too many goals.
It is because of this reason manager Frank Lampard has moved in quickly to bring not just one but two leaders at the back in Coady and James Tarkowski.
With the two at the back, Everton fans must be assured that sooner rather than later, their team will have one of the most solid defensive lines amongst the teams in the lower half of the table which would give the attacking players more freedom to express themselves as well.
Coady left Wolves after spending seven years at the Molineux Stadium after moving from Huddersfield in a deal worth £2.5 million.
He made 317 appearances for Wolves over the period of seven seasons at the club and managed to score seven times along with providing similar amount of assists as well [Transfermarkt].
