Everton goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, edged Alex Iwobi to the Fans’ Footballer of the Year by Everton supporters.
Richarlison, a former Everton forward, was nominated with Anthony Gordon, a local hero.
Under Frank Lampard, Iwobi has been changed as a player, and he has also received a substantial portion of the vote, with only 21 votes separating him from Pickford.
So far this season, the 26 year old has featured prominently in midfield providing six assists in 15 games for Everton so far this term.
Everton may not have had a rosy 2022, but Pickford and Iwobi have indisputably been their best players.
Pickford finished the Qatar 2022 World Cup tied for first place in terms of clean sheets, however he was denied the Golden Glove trophy due to Emiliano Martinez’s heroics in the final match, which helped Argentina win the tournament.
The England goalkeeper conceded goals in only two of his five matches at the tournament, while keeping three clean sheets.
