Patterson is an exciting, young right-back and looks set to be the long-term successor to Seamus Coleman.
The 21-year-old managed just 45 minutes of football in his first six months at Everton before having ankle surgery.

Patterson on leaving Rangers in January
: “I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye properly to anyone at Rangers.
“We weren’t training around that time so I didn’t get that opportunity. I’d been going into the training ground for 12 years, since I was eight years old, so it still rankles with me.
“It probably didn’t end the way I hoped it would especially as I’d been there so long.
“I felt there were a few things that me and my family were a bit disappointed with in the sense of how the club handled them, but it’s done now.
“And I’ll always be a massive Rangers fan. I still watch them every week.”
Patterson is now working alongside some very experienced Premier League defenders at Everton.
James Tarkowski has said that he’s been trying to help Patterson whenever he can this season.
Everton’s coaches have also noticed a change in his stature since recovering from his ankle injury.
Patterson may be disappointed with how he ended up leaving Rangers in January.
However, he’s now in a position to thrive in one of the best leagues in the world.
He’ll be hoping to return straight to the starting line-up on Boxing Day when Everton host Wolves.
