Michael Keane has reaffirmed his commitment to Everton until summer 2025.
Keane signed a new five-year contract on Sunday just days after being recalled to the England squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures.
The defender completed every single minute for Carlo Ancelotti’s side following the Premier League’s return from lockdown in mid-June.
But the 27-year-old, a £30 million arrival from Burnley in 2017, insists he is determined to continue improving under the Blues’ highly-decorated manager.
He said: “I am learning every day on the training pitch with the manager and all his staff.
“They have been brilliant and really got across the way they want us to play. The manager is one of the best there has been.
“I am hoping we can kick on this season and make the fans proud again.
“Before lockdown I had a good run of form and, hopefully, I can keep that going into this season and keep improving.
“I am not happy just staying where I am at the minute. I want to keep improving and keep learning. My best years are definitely ahead of me.”
