Everton defender already looks undroppable.

Yerry Mina of Everton applauds the travelling fans after the Premier League match between Chelsea and Everton at Stamford Bridge on November 11, 2018 in London, England.

Everton defender Yerry Mina has made an instant impact since making his debut earlier this month.

Mina has only played two Premier League games, and he has come through them both looking excellent and helping Everton keep clean sheets in both.

Already he appears to be worth the wait Everton fans had to endure to see him in action.

The spell on the sidelines probably did Mina a lot of good, allowing him to get used to his new surroundings and recover from his World Cup exploits.

The centre-back was sold by Barcelona to facilitate their own squad moves, with limits on the number of non-EU players.

Everton beat competition from sides around Europe for Mina’s signature and the powerful centre-back already looks at home in the Premier League.

He has faced two very different types of opponent, taking on Chelsea and Cardiff City.

Mina has come through both of them looking good, and appears to be forging a strong partnership with Michael Keane.

The Colombian faces a new test this weekend when he faces Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. He has already become undroppable heading into the fixture.
