EVERTON skipper James Tarkowski admits he would have struggled to cope with all the pressure at Goodison Park if he was younger.
Tarkowski joined Everton on a free from Burnley in 2022 and his Blues career has been dogged by relegation fights, points deductions and financial trouble.
The former England centrehalf admits it has been the most testing time of his career and the 31-year-old shudders to think how he would have handled everything if he had not been an experienced pro.
Better times lie ahead with Dan Friedkin's takeover due to be completed in December before the club's move to their new Bramley Moore Dock home next August.
