Everton boss Benitez pleased to welcome new signings Mykolenko, Patterson

Everton boss Rafa Benitez is pleased with their first week of the winter market.

Benitez today discussed how new signings Vitalii Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson are settling in at Goodison Park.

"We know both players well and know about their potential," Benitez said

"The first training session was for them to settle down. Both players showed they want to do well and perform. Are they ready? We will see.

"Today we have another training session. If you have to play them, they can play but in terms of fitness they have been 15-20 days without training.

"Maybe they can start, maybe one of them, maybe both. They've been 15 days without training so we have to consider if they're fit enough for an important game like this one."
