Many Everton fans have been lauding Mason Holgate as comments emerged from Seamus Coleman on the Merseyside club’s official website.
As per the website, the 31-year old has been ‘very impressed’ with the central defender and added that he is ‘growing as a leader’ and ‘has shown great leadership qualities’.

Indeed, these are rather high plaudits from the club captain as he has suggested that Holgate could succeed him one day and gain the armband.
The 23-year old has stepped up in the 2019/20 season so far, averaging more tackles, dribbles and through balls than Michael Keane and Yerry Mina, according to Whoscored.

These EFC supporters lauded him on Twitter and seemed to agree with Coleman’s comments:

Let’s just hope Mason and Dominic stay at Everton, it would be good to see some real loyalty from young players
