Barkley insists he’s at Everton to win titles

Midfielder Ross Barkley is targeting silverware with Everton after the club started 2017 with seven Premier League games without defeat.

Everton won all three of their league games in January and were victorious in two of their four Premier League fixtures in February.

And Barkley is determined to continue his own and Everton’s improvements over the past few months to start winning titles.

He said: “I haven’t won anything yet and I want to win things. In my young days I was constantly winning trophies for Everton and England (youth teams), that’s something I want.

“Not what I have earned, I want to be remembered as a winner. That’s why I play football, to win things.”

“I knew that I wasn’t doing as well as I should have been. I went away and worked hard on my game and put in a lot of fitness work to get to a better level.

“Now I feel like I’m putting in better performances and much more confident on the pitch.

“The team is doing well, too. The fans see that all the team is performing well, digging in with goals and assists. Everyone seems to be enjoying their football.

“The way we have been playing since Christmas, we’ve gone on an unbelievable run. We are unbeaten at the start of 2017. You see in training with all the lads that we look like a proper team.”
