Five Everton players are the real stars of David Moyes' transformed team - ex-employee

Former Everton scout Bryan King praises Moyes for building a cohesive team of unsung heroes including Pickford, Branthwaite, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall and George.

Former senior Everton scout Bryan King has praised David Moyes for assembling a strong, unified team despite a disappointing summer transfer window. Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, King highlighted five players—Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Tyrique George—as unsung heroes who could all play for England.

King noted that 18 months ago, few would have predicted these players would form the backbone of a competitive Everton side. While Pickford was already an established England goalkeeper, Branthwaite and Garner have broken through after injury setbacks, and Dewsbury-Hall appears close to international recognition. "The side has been put together with no real stars, but solid footballers," King said.

Everton have won three consecutive games across all competitions, sit sixth in the Premier League and have a genuine chance of reaching the Carabao Cup semi-final. With potential backing in the January transfer window, Moyes could position the club for a historically strong season and end their 31-year wait for a trophy.
