Sylvain Distin is happy to act as mentor to Everton's whizkids.
Everton can also turn to their prolific youth system for players - with Ross Barkley, John Lundstram, Chris Long and John Stones all keen to start.
Veteran defender Distin revealed he is loving his new role as a "father figure" to the young stars. He said: "If any of the youngsters needs a bit of help, then I will be there for them.
"I want to help and talk to them. It is just the way I am."
