Everton boss Frank Lampard has heaped praise on Nathan Patterson's 'character' and says he is only going to get better and better.
The former Rangers kid struggled to make a proper impact at the Toffees last season following his mega-money move from Ibrox to the riches of the English Premier League. He made his debut in an FA Cup clash with Boreham Wood but was subbed off after 45 minutes in his only top team game-time of the campaign.
Fast forward to this season and the Scotland international has been a key member of Lampard's starting team. He has played every single minute of the new English Premier League season and once again impressed in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool. His form has been recognised by his boss who singled him out for praise while former Reds midfielder Danny Murphy also believes the Evertonians will 'love' the full-back.
