“I see myself as a game-changer and match-winner for Everton and, at the minute, I am playing well but not winning games.

“Until I am doing that I have to keep working and improving. That is where I see myself and nothing else will be good enough.

“I've always had the ability to reach those levels but it was about getting my mind right and having the mentality, not just that I can do it – but I will do it.

“My mindset is on a whole different level from last year.

“Ability is only part of it, the mindset is what will take me where I want to get to.

“At Everton, I don’t see it as me versus the other wingers. I just have to reach my full potential.

“There are no guarantees I will get there [best player at club] – but I think I will get there.

“I am on my own journey and those are my goals.”
