Yerry Mina had a brilliant World Cup with Columbia last summer. The 24-year old was a subject of a lot of transfer speculation with Manchester United and Everton reportedly interested in signing the player from Barcelona.

He moved to Everton for a reported fee of £28 million and was expected to lead Marco Silva's side at the back. But he has struggled for playtime with injuries and has made just 9 appearances so far in the Premier League this season.

The 6'5'' centre-back is perfectly suited to succeed in the Premier League with his physicality and ability on the ball, but lack of form and injuries has hampered his progress.

He has found himself down the pecking order, with Michael Keane and Kurt Zouma preferred over the Columbian. The 24-year old has done very little to justify the money Everton paid for him and his injury record this season is not helping his cause.
