Moyes: rising starlet Coleman just like Bale

EVERTON manager David Moyes has compared Republic of Ireland starlet Seamus Coleman to Tottenham star Gareth Bale.

Bale has emerged as one of the hottest properties in Britain after a series of outstanding performances for Spurs, not least against European champions Inter Milan this week.

Yet Bale was not even a Spurs regular a year ago and Moyes sees similarities with Donegal man Coleman, who ended last season on loan at Blackpool. Moyes said: “Seamus has done great. He is getting games for us now, albeit probably not in his right position. We have played him wide on the right when he is a right-back. But the experience he is getting — there is a similarity to Bale.
