Marco Silva says Lucas Digne has always been his first choice left-back
Everton manager Marco Silva oversaw major squad changes over the summer transfer window, and it’s safe to say the Portuguese got things right in that regard given how the majority of the new players have hit the ground running at Goodison Park.
French international Lucas Digne arrived from Barcelona for £18million, and wasted no time making the left-back position his on a permanent basis.
The 25-year-old is now ahead of Leighton Baines in the pecking order, and Silva recently revealed that has always been his own plan.
“I analysed our squad and I knew who our targets were and what we needed for what positions. I was clear,” the Portuguese tactician told Liverpool Echo.
