Rio Ferdinand says he's been told by people at Everton that new signing Donny van de Beek has 'lifted the levels' in training.

The Dutch international made his home debut and first start for the club in the 3-0 win over Leeds United at the weekend.

He arrived on loan from Manchester United on deadline day last month and is already earning praise from his new manager and pundits.

Former United defender Ferdinand has offered an insight into how the midfielder has settled in to life at Goodison Park.

“I’ve been speaking to a few people at the club and they’ve said that he’s gone in there and lifted the levels, training-wise,” he said in the latest episode of Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE.

“Great lad, first and foremost, but you can see. A lot of them are going: ‘wow, he’s this good, they must be unbelievable at Manchester United if he can’t get in’.”

Manager Frank Lampard also hailed Van de Beek following Saturday's win over Marcelo Bielsa's side
