Former Everton midfielder Don Hutchison believes Gylfi Sigurdsson is on the brink of a great season.

Sigurdsson joined Everton from Swansea for £45m last summer but struggled to find form and fitness in his debut Toffees campaign.

Hutchison said: “If you are picking a team and want creativity, you would always have Gylfi Sigurdsson in your team.

“He is different class. His ability from dead balls and capacity to pick a pass are superb.

"First and foremost, you must have the technical ability to handle the ball and hit the pass. But you also need the vision to see it.

“I look at Gylfi Sigurdsson and think his vision, the way he can spot a pass, is fantastic.

“He has the minutes under his belt on the pitch and thousands of man hours on the training ground and he knows his own game inside out."
