'This is something we demand from them' - Silva calls on Richarlison and Mina to improve English skills

Everton boss Marco Silva has urged Richarlison and Yerry Mina to improve their ability to speak English in an effort to boost communication in the dressing room.

Silva has made speaking English a priority since taking over Everton in 2018 in an effort to prevent the formation of language-based cliques.

The former Hull manager has taken the lead on that front by taking more English classes himself in an effort to get a better grasp on the language.
