Everton defender Sylvain Distin has hailed the current form of Muhamed Besic.

Besic has started Everton's last three games, adding his trademark bite and confidence on the ball to the Blues midfield.

"He is doing great," Distin told evertontv. "He brings a lot of energy; with the amount of games we have it's always good to have a fresh player coming in.

"He is motivated, he is young, he's still learning but he's a good prospect for the club."
