Nathan Patterson has been backed to bounce back from his latest Everton injury and display the potential that won him a move to Goodison Park from Rangers consistently.
The right-back had his first six months in Merseyside hampered by an injury but started this season in strong form, putting in stellar outings during games against the likes of Liverpool. An ankle blow on international duty with Scotland threatened to put him out long-term again when a stretcher was needed to carry him off but he's now in the midst of a four-to-five-week recovery plan.
Former international star Nevin is often asked about Scottish players down south and the former Chelsea player insists the Rangers academy product has all the tools to make it. He told FreeSuperTips: "I think he’s gone beyond just development as a footballer, and I think he’s currently Everton’s number one fullback. I think he’s been one of the best players in the side so far this season and I believe Coleman’s replacement for the next five or six years is sorted in Paterson.
