Nevin convinced of big things from Everton attacker Naismith

Former Everton winger Pat Nevin is convinced there's more to come from Steven Naismith.

Nevin is delighted that the 27-year-old is back displaying the qualities which made him such a hit at Ibrox.

"I've been telling Everton fans for a long time now that Steven Naismith is a top, top quality player," Nevin, who netted 21 goals in 150 games for the Blues, told evertontv.

"He came to Everton and it didn't work for him early on - but don't worry because he is going to be a top player for a long time.

"He's one of these players that is more skilful than you think. He's a million times better in the air than you think and is more of a powerful runner than you think too. He's got more to his game than you realise."
