David Moyes hails Everton star who ‘trains like a monster every day’ ahead of Arsenal clash

Everton manager David Moyes has praised club captain James Tarkowski ahead of their fixture against Arsenal, describing the veteran defender as an anchor who trains like a monster every day. Moyes highlighted Tarkowski's consistent availability, leadership qualities, and determination to overcome injuries, comparing his reliable Premier League presence to experienced center-backs like Lewis Dunk and Harry Maguire.

Tarkowski, who took over the captaincy following Seamus Coleman's departure, leads the Premier League in successful duels this season. Everton face Arsenal following a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea that ended an eight-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, while Moyes also addressed the recent form of deadline-day signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles ahead of his return to Arsenal.
