The Toffees defender had a mixed debut season at Goodison Park but is now in the form of his life for the Blues.
A number of Everton fans have taken to Twitter to praise Yerry Mina’s comments to the official Toffees website about his impressive early-season form for the Goodison Park side.
The Toffees are yet to concede a goal in the 2019-20 Premier League campaign, having followed up their opening-day goalless draw at Crystal Palace with a 1-0 home win over Watford.
Mina put in great displays at the back in both games, following on from a mixed debut season in which injuries and perhaps having to acclimatise to a new style of football played their part.

This is my best football since I came to Everton but I have to keep my focus and always work to improve.”
The 24-year-old then hailed the Toffees support, adding: “They are always behind me and the team. It is incredible to play in front of these supporters and a brilliant feeling to play at Goodison Park. The fans have been very good to me since I came to Everton and their support gives me a lot of confidence.”
Here is what some Evertonians wrote in response on social media:
The 24-year-old joined the Goodison Park outfit from Barcelona in the summer of 2018 for fee reported by BBC Sport as being around £27million.
