Blaise Matuidi was full of praise for Lucas Digne, saying the Everton left-back is “stronger defensively” after playing in the Premier League. Digne joined the Blues from Barcelona over the summer and has gone on to make 11 appearances in all competitions.
The 25-year-old’s career started out in France for LOSC Lille where he made 62 appearances across the board before being headhunted by Paris Saint-Germain in 2013. Digne turned out 44 times for the Parisians, winning two Ligue 1 titles and the French League Cup before a loan move to AS Roma followed (42 appearances).
