Everton's rising star Mason Holgate is ready to step up and play regularly ahead of Arsenal's visit - just don't compare him to John Stones...

Mason Holgate believes he has found his way at the top level by fighting it out with the Premier League's elite.

A crash course of facing the likes of Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial have set Everton's rising star on his way – and now he is targeting a regular place against those kind of opponents. Another big step could come against Arsenal on Tuesday night.

Holgate was presented with his Premier League 'Debut Ball' last week – a memento to mark his first Premier League appearance on the opening day of the season against Tottenham.
