During this season, the Englishman has captured the adoration of supporters over 23 games in all competitions, in which he has scored once and assisted on three occasions (as per Transfermarkt).
Over those outings, a 6.84/10 average rating has been enough to persuade supporters that Holgate is a talent (per WhoScored), leaving many delighted over Joyce’s news.

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses of many of the Goodison Park faithful, supporters are delighted to see that the club have an interest in keeping Holgate at the club for the long term (via Paul Joyce).
Having started the season on the outskirts of the Toffees’ first team (per Transfermarkt), Holgate has done well to solidify himself as a prominent feature of Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
