Davies desires starting spot at Everton

Tom Davies is targeting more game time at Everton after establishing himself amongst Ronald Koeman’s first-team squad.

The 18-year-old has regularly found himself on the substitutes, bench so far this season making his third appearance of the season in Saturday’s 5-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Everton had already conceded five goals prior to Davies introduction on 66 minutes but the midfielder insists Koeman was happy to give him freedom to perform.

“I’m feeling a part of the senior squad now – I’m with them through the week,” he said.

“It is now just a case of getting game time. I got on against Chelsea and hopefully I can get some more minutes under my belt.

“The manager told me to just go out there and play. There felt like there was less pressure because the score was what it was.

“I still didn’t want us to concede or make things any worse. It was a hard game to come on in but I tried my best.

“It might be a good break to get away from it and try and forget about it. It’s a chance to go away with our international sides or have a break, come back and go again.”
