However, after Mawson’s latest display, a number of Everton fans are now urging their club to go out and get the centre-back signed before the end of the window.
Though that may not be that great a surprise given the opposition.
Swansea moved themselves to within three points of safety on Monday night as they beat Liverpool 1-0 in south Wales, and it was Mawson who separated the two teams as he scored the game’s only goal five minutes before half-time.
