Nathan Patterson has detailed the coaching from Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole that has helped shape his strong Everton performances so far this season.
The right-back was signed in the January transfer window from Rangers but was forced to wait until the beginning of this term for his Premier League debut after injury. Seamus Coleman's absence to start 2022/23 gave the Scotland international a chance to impress in the opening matches - and it's one he has grabbed with both hands.
After a particularly brilliant display in the Merseyside derby, Patterson sat down with The Times to discuss the behind-the-scenes conversations that have helped him adapt to his new surroundings so easily. Firstly, the defender described his relationship with Everton coach Cole, the former Arsenal, Chelsea and England left-back, and how he reviews video footage of his upcoming opponent a night before a match.
