Everton have got a midfielder in Morgan Schneiderlin who “can do the lot – and at the perfect age,” says the man who knows the Frenchman more than most.
Nigel Adkins managed the 27-year-old for three years during their time together at Southampton, when Schneiderlin was integral to Saints’ rise from League One to the Premier League in successive seasons.
After joining the Blues from Manchester United last month, Schneiderlin made his first start for the Club in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Stoke, putting in an eye-catching performance in central midfield.
While some may be surprised with the quickly the France international has made an impact for the Toffees, Adkins expects even more to come.
