Royal Blue: The West Ham win, Marcel Brands' transfer plans and Everton's player of the season

Everton's victory over West Ham at the London Stadium makes for an upbeat instalment of the Royal Blue podcast. Adam Jones waxes lyrical about the performance of Marco Silva's side while fellow guests Dave Prentice and Gavin Buckland are similarly enthused. Marcel Brands' comments at the London Innovation Summit are explored as Phil Kirkbride reports from the capital with Everton's director of football delivering a presentation and Q&A. Host Sam Carroll then talks Bernard and what he can bring to the team, whether Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines deserve new deals at Goodison Park and why Kurt Zouma's set-piece goal should be a more regular occurrence for the Toffees. The podcast finishes on Everton's end-of-season awards evening after voting for the Dixies opened online. A unanimous vote quickly descends into debate as Lucas Digne, Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gylfi Sigurdsson are all mooted for awards.
