Mason Holgate believes that Everton will be able to maintain some of their best players throughout the summer despite what he admits has been a disappointing campaign for the club.
The Blues secured Premier League safety in their penultimate match of the season in dramatic fashion on Thursday, coming from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Goodison Park. Goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were enough to seal all three points and spark a huge outpouring of emotion from everyone connected with the club.
Rumours have already begun about the long-term futures of some players in the squad with Champions League contenders linked with some of Everton's top talent. However, Holgate doesn't believe "one bad season" should change the perspective of the Blues and their position in the Premier League when considering potential summer transfers.
