Coleman among the world’s best full-backs, says Martinez

Roberto Martinez has hailed Seamus Coleman as one of the best full-backs in the world ahead of tonight’s Europa League clash with Lille at Goodison Park (8.05pm).

The Blues boss echoed the sentiments of former Everton defender David Unsworth that the pairing of Leighton Baines and Coleman are as good as it gets in world football.

He said: “I would agree 100% with that, I think we are privileged to have the full-backs that we have and I know that Leighton has been an incredible influence on Seamus.”
