Yerry Mina

Powerhouse centre-back Yerry Mina became Marco Silva’s fourth signing when he joined Everton from Barcelona in August 2018.

Colombia defender Mina was one of the standout performers in the summer’s World Cup finals, his dramatic last-minute goal against England one of three he scored in the tournament.

He won the Brazilian league title with Palmeiras in 2016 and was part of a league and cup double-winning campaign at Barcelona.

Mina signed for his first professional team Deportivo Pasto aged 18 in 2012 and made his senior debut the following year.

He was lured to illustrious Bogota club Independiente Santa Fe on an initial loan deal in December 2013.
