Daniel Ballard
25-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
Starter when healthy
Ballard had three goals and one assist with just two clean sheets in his 15 starts (23 appearances) this past season.
ANALYSIS
Ballard was a regular when healthy, but he had multiple injuries throughout the season which kept him out about half the time. After starting 43 matches in 2023/24, this could be more of a fluke, but in the Premier League, staying healthy is one of the more important things for players jumping a level. He'll hope to remain on the back line with Luke O'Nien, though that seems to rarely happen assuming Sunderland add some new defenders.

Enter Ballard, who's having an outstanding season with Sunderland in the Championship. The 23-year-old defender would be an excellent addition to the side to bolster the defensive depth at Goodison Park.
