Everton fullback Vitalii Mykolenko is grateful to the mentors he has at Goodison Park.

Mykolenko has a couple of great tutors at his disposal when it comes to full-back play in the shape of club captain Seamus Coleman and first team coach Ashley Cole.

He said: “Seamie is a big captain and a fantastic human.

“I watch how he plays all of the time. When we played at Southampton last week, he's a big help and he gives me confidence on the pitch – and he's a great defender.

“Straight after this interview we our having a meeting (with Cole). We speak a lot about my game, about my body shape, my movements... I watch clips of Ashley when he used to play for Chelsea and study them.

“He was aggressive and I want to be like he was – I want to play more in attack. In the last games, I didn't play well in attack and he was one of the best in that sense."
