What Iliman Ndiaye thinks Thierno Barry will do more than any other Everton player this season

Iliman Ndiaye has made a bold prediction for Everton striker Thierno Barry, which trumps the rest of the squad.

After signing for £27 million in the summer transfer window, Barry has made a solid start to proceedings at Everton.

The French striker still appears raw with his game, and he’s still adapting to the style of play in English football.

But Barry is ‘wowing everyone’ in training, as David Moyes will know the forward has a bright future ahead.

Ndiaye is clearly another who sees the 22-year-old’s potential, as the winger believes he will do something more than any other player in the squad.

Ndiaye clearly has belief in his new teammate, who is showing promising signs of producing something like this.

The French striker possesses the quality, and all he needs now is a goal to get his career on Merseyside up and running.

Barry is going the right way about this so far, with it looking as though he’s getting the best out of the competition with Beto up top.

Thierno Barry has helped produce more xG for Everton than Beto
The debate this season will be between who is better suited as Everton’s number nine, and judging by the numbers, it’s Barry so far.

Although Moyes sees Barry as a long-term option, the Frenchman has shown how his hold-up play and off-the-ball movement is already making a difference, and it’s making more of an impact than Beto’s overall game.

So far, it’s clear that the younger forward is proving to be more useful in Moyes’ set-up, as his role has helped improve Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye’s fortunes.

Barry has done this through his little flicks when the ball is played into his feet and his energy, which has proven a nightmare for defenders.

The goals haven’t come yet for the striker, but Barry is making a name for himself at Everton, and long may it continue.
