Supporters of Everton have aired that they would like to see Watford’s Ben Foster signed by the Toffees at the end of the season.
On Wednesday, the question was posed to fans over whether they would like to see the Englishman arrive when his contract expires (per Toffee TV), which had many singing his praises.
Chatting before on our live show and the name Ben Foster popped up.
Do you think getting him on a free at the end of the season could be a Martynesque signing to push Pickford?

Yes. Pickford can be great but thinks he’s in dispensable. There are a few others chasing him to be England’s No 1. He needs keeping on his toes to do Everton proud. More clean sheets.

Do you think Ben Foster on a free transfer would be a good signing for Everton?Yes, he's still a great goalkeeperNo, he seems a bit past it now |
The 36-year-old’s contract with his current club, Watford, is set to expire in June (per Transfermarkt) and after eight clean sheets in 26 appearances this term (per Transfermarkt), some Everton fans were impressed.
While his clean sheets tally is decent, his average rating is a little underwhelming with a 6.59/10 rating (per WhoScored), however, fans were still keen on the move.
Yup would be a good addition ??

All day long
Would be a great signing— Kev Cooper (@kevcooper4195) February 13, 2020
What do we think?
With an average rating of 6.59/10 so far this term (per WhoScored), Foster has performed better than Jordan Pickford, who has a 6.4/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
The Watford stopper also has the same number of clean sheets as Everton’s, with eight, however, has done so in five fewer games than the 25-year-old has (per Transfermarkt).
