Mason Holgate has produced three assists in seven Championship games since arriving at West Bromwich Albion from Premier League Everton.
Mason Holgate certainly had a point to prove when he arrived at The Hawthorns during the January transfer window.
The young defender struggled for game time at Everton in the first half of the 2018/19 season, starting just four Premier League games under Marco Silva with Yerry Mina and Kurt Zouma moving ahead of him in the pecking order.
So a short-term loan move to West Bromwich Albion represented a fantastic opportunity for Holgate to show Everton, who have looked shaky at the back in recent months, what they are missing.
But has he seized his opportunity? Seven games into his Baggies career, he absolutely has.
A centre-back by trade, Holgate has lined up on the right for West Brom and promptly solved a position that has given manager Darren Moore headaches all season.
And he has adapted like a duck to water, following up his assist in the 2-0 triumph at rivals Aston Villa with a pinpoint cross to set up Jake Livermore’s last-minute winner against QPR on Tuesday.
If you ask West Brom fans, Everton have a star on their hands.
