Everton fullback Lucas Digne has credited Marco Silva for his magnificent debut season.

The Frenchman collected Everton's Player of the Year award and split the Players' Player of the Year award with Idrissa Gueye.

"The manager did a lot, he did everything for me," Digne told evertontv.

"I work a lot with him and his staff, always trying to improve my quality and seeing where I need to work.

"He showed me a lot of videos and has given me lots of advice.

"And this trophy [Player of the Season Dixie] has a lot to do with him.

"It's a big pleasure for me to win this award because the fans chose me.

"We need to keep going and keep working for next season.

"We are looking forward and building something. I am very happy to be part of the team – and so happy to win this trophy in my first season in the Premier League."
