Lucas Digne responds to Everton chant as supporters show appreciation ahead of Fulham clash

Lucas Digne showed his appreciation at having his own song created by Everton fans ahead of their Premier League trip to Fulham this weekend.

The Frenchman has been in impressive form since joining from Barcelona last summer and has replaced Leighton Baines as the club's first-choice left-back.

Despite bagging three goals and four assists in his debut season so far, though, Digne is yet to be serenaded with a personal chant from the Gwladys Street.

"Our left-back is magic and his name is Lucas Digne," the song goes, with Digne replying "Thank's" [sic] with a love-eyes emoji and large blue circle on Twitter.
