Andy Gray can only help but laugh at amazing Richard Keys reveal on Everton player
Andy Gray and Richard Keys are often prominent when it comes to matters involving Everton.
Keys and Gray were quick to mock West Ham ahead of the Everton draw, after they sacked Graham Potter before the clash.
Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium also had the duo in stitches, as they joked about the name that it has due to the branding rights deal with a Merseyside law firm.
The duo were blown away by a fresh reveal one of the stars at David Moyes‘ disposal.
Richard Keys makes a sensational James Tarkowski reveal live on air
James Tarkowski has been one of Everton’s best players this season, and he is towards the top of the pile in a surprise metric.
Richard Keys revealed that Tarkowski is the Premier League’s best one-touch finisher, ahead of Tottenham star Cristian Romero.
Speaking on BeIN SPORTS on 4 October, Keys said: “He’s the PL’s second best one-touch finisher. Do you know who the best is? James Tarkowski. Ninety-six per cent of his first touches are goals.”
Gray was laughing at Keys made the reveal live on air.
Everton need Tarkowski to start putting it in the net
Moyes’ side have issues in front of goal right now, with the likes of Beto and Thierno Barry underwhelming when leading the line, as the duo have scored two goals so far in this campaign.
One of their most prominent threats is from set-pieces, with title contenders Arsenal being arguably the only better team from dead-ball situations than the Blues.
- Tarkowski has made 127 appearances since joining the Blues in 2022
- He has scored four goals in that time
- He has also picked up 25 bookings for the Toffees
However, Tarkowski’s impact in that department is not really being felt, as he has just one goal in each of the past three seasons for the Toffees.
Moyes needs the 32-year-old to start converting when he gets in promising positions in the opposition box, as his towering physical presence should give him a huge advantage over opposing defenders.
If he can, it should give the Merseysiders a new way to solve their goalscoring issues, which have plagued them so far this season, and threaten to derail their positive start at their new stadium.
