Nathan Patterson has been given hope on his immediate Everton future after head coach Frank Lampard outlined what players can do to impress him..
Patterson has endured a difficult start to life in England since joining the Goodison Park club from Rangers in a deal worth up to £16million last January.
He has managed just one 45-minute appearance for the Toffees, in an FA Cup clash with Boreham Wood, with injuries and competition for places proving a key stumbling block.
