Toto Nsiala: Everton great club for young defender

Everton youngster Toto Nsiala is happy with his loan at Accrington Stanley.

Nsiala feels his game is developing at the League Two club.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "Young lads have had a chance at Everton traditionally but the squad is getting bigger and it'll be harder for us to get in. That's why we need to go on loan. League Two is so much quicker. You get no time on the ball, it's so fast, and it's helping me to stay switched on and focused for the whole game.

"Everton is perfect for a defender. You've got Alan Stubbs, Andy Holden, Steve Round, and of course the gaffer who were all centre halves and they know what it takes. Sylvain Distin is a role model for me.

"I speak French to him, and he's the ultimate professional and the way he lives his life is great. I'm very quick and good on the ball. I used to play centre mid so I'm comfortable on the ball."
