Everton defender Yerry Mina is delighted knowing the fans are excited this season.

Mina is proud to have helped Everton reach the top of the Premier League so far this term.

He told Marca: "We are on the right track thanks to the attitude of the players, the coaching staff and the club's facilities. That is what has brought us to the top. We must go step by step. We don't think of anything else, no matter how much people say. We have to continue as a family, because this is how things are going to turn out.

"Yes, the fans are excited, but everything is just beginning, it is very long and difficult. The Premier, as you are seeing, is very competitive. We must highlight the work that is being done, on and off the pitch. From the first player to the prop to the gardener we are focused. It is seen that we give everything on the field."
