Sky Sports stretch the Patterson fee to £16m!
Nathan Patterson’s transfer fee to Everton has now reached £16m according to Sky Sports.
Earlier this evening the Daily Record were quoting £10m plus which seemed on the generous side of generous.
According to Transfermarkt Patterson has played 232 minutes of Premiership football this season, to add to the 238 he managed last season. Even with basic arithmetic that works out at just over five full matches.
Since making his debut the Murray Park starlet has spent most of his time watching from the bench as James Tavernier plays at right-back without a sniff of interest from elsewhere.
? | Everton are set to complete a deal worth up to £16m to sign right-back Nathan Patterson from Rangers.
The Gers academy graduate – who has made just two Scottish Premiership starts this season – will move for a club-record fee. Full story?

A 3-2 home defeat from Brighton leaves Everton and Rafa Benitez in big trouble- expecting an over-hyped 20-year-old to make an impact in a relegation battle seems highly optimistic. The higher the fee is inflated the greater the expectations are on Young Patterson who has already been compared to Ross McCrorie.
