Everton fullback Seamus Coleman has hailed the form of Gerard Deulofeu.

Former Barcelona winger Deulofeu, now in his second spell at the club, is producing the goods.

Coleman said: “Gerry has come back a lot better player than he was and he has added so much more to his game. He is much more of a team player and he is a great lad to have around the place.

“Luckily Gerry is on the other side to me at training. I remember when Cristiano Ronaldo broke on the scene first at Manchester United and he was known for his step-overs.

“The goal he set up at Middlesbrough the other night was similar with the step overs and then a great final ball. I was asking Romelu Lukaku earlier how many goals Gerry has set up for him and he said seven, so I'm sure Rom is looking forward to playing with him for the rest of the season.

“But what I like about these young lads is that there are no egos. They are all great lads."
