On Saturday, Jørgen Strand Larsen’s Crystal Palace are ready to welcome the Everton players to the new season in the world’s toughest league. David Moyes, after his return to the club, along with new owners, has given Toffees supporters more optimism ahead of the start of the season. What supporters have also been waiting for is who will take over the captain’s armband from giant Seamus Coleman, who led the club from 2019 to 2026. The answer came the day before the start of the Premier League.

Everton announce James Tarkowski will take over the captain’s armband, a player who has been rewarded for his performances at the club since 2022. This is a task Tarkowski takes with great pleasure and gratitude.

“Playing for Everton is already special in itself, but following in the footsteps of some legendary names as captain means a lot to my family and me. It’s without a doubt one of the greatest moments of my career,” the new Everton captain said, according to the club’s website.

A very good choice by David Moyes!
