Kompany tips Belgian teammate to reach great heights at Everton

Manchester City midfielder Vincent Kompany believes his Belgium teammate, Everton's Marouane Fellaini will become the star of Goodison Park.

After meeting in Everton's last gasp victory over City on Saturday, Kompany heaped praise on the 21-year old.

"He is a very good player and important for the national team," he told the club's official website.

"In the future, I can see him becoming Everton's main man.

"It's good for Belgium to have some players doing well in The Premier League.

"It was good to see him again. We had a good laugh on the pitch, we kicked each other a couple of times and I thought he played really well - being in England is helping his development. He is getting better all the time. We are good friends.

"I won't be growing my hair like his - he's got his own style - but maybe he should keep it that way as if it gets any bigger he'll start to scare opponents off!"
