Coleman ready for next level

Seamus Coleman has credited Everton manager Roberto Martinez’s attacking philosophy and the selflessness of Republic of Ireland team-mate James McCarthy as key factors in his progression to becoming the Premier League’s best right-back.

Coleman enjoyed a stunning 2013/14 season, scoring six Premier League goals, winning Everton’s Player of the Year award and was also named in the PFA Team of the Year as the Toffees finished fifth.

Such a campaign, Coleman says, would not have been possible without Martinez and McCarthy.
