Everton defender Michael Keane says Yerry Mina's English is getting better.

Keane insists his defensive partnership with Mina is 'improving' - even though the Colombian is still working on his English.

Back in August, manager Marco Silva instructed Mina and team-mate Richarlison to improve their English.

Stockport-born Keane told the Liverpool Echo: I wouldn't quite say he's a Scouser but he's improving!

He's understanding a lot more and talking a bit more. I think it's easier to understand than it is to speak it sometimes for the new lads. He's improving, he's still having his lessons.

I think sometimes, don't get me wrong, it is difficult because of his English.

He doesn't understand some of the things that I will say so it's not perfect but I don't think it's at the point where it's worrying or it's affecting the way we play, that's all."
