Everton could have the next big thing on their hands in Marouane Fellaini.

That's the claim of former Blue Pat Nevin, who told evertonfc.com: "I didn't used to be too big a fan of Fellaini.

"I used to think he had a lot to learn and didn't quite see what David Moyes had seen in him.

"But now I have figured out that Moyes is miles ahead of the rest of us.

"Fellaini bullies defenders in the air. When we played Manchester United he bullied Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand - he did not lose one header.

"Yes he's young, he's too raw, he gets booked too often and makes the wrong challenges sometimes, but I can tell you that if he fills his potential of what he's got physically and what he's got technically, he will be one of the best players playing in Europe - he is that good."
