Everton fullback Hibbert: Browning talent frightening

Everton fullback Tony Hibbert is full of praise for Tyias Browning.

Hibbert is impressed by the youngster's physical attributes.

He told evertonfc.com: "He's a great player and a great defender. Tyias is still learning, he's captained the Under-21s for a few years now and I think he's got very good potential.

"He needs chances to play first-team football and being in and around us will help him massively, but I think there is a lot to come from Tyias. He is big and strong and he's fast.

"I think defensively with his one-on-ones and those types of situations with the way he handles a defensive play - you hardly ever see anyone go past him because his pace and power is frightening.

"It does remind you of Sylvain when he plays. Obviously, Tyias is a lot younger and he has a lot to learn about reading the game but that will only come with playing with the players we have here and being around the squad."
