Dwight McNeil believes working under Frank Lampard at Everton will improve his output.
McNeil sealed a £15 million move from Burnley on Thursday, joining former teammate James Tarkowski in making a summer switch to Goodison Park.
The winger has signed a five-year deal with the Blues and becomes the third addition of the transfer window alongside Tarokowski and Ruben Vinagre.
And McNeil, who missed just two Premier League matches since December 2018, is confident that his new manager will unlock more of his potential.
He said: When I heard about Everton’s interest I wanted to get it done straight away because of the club and how good the team is.
“Speaking to the manager about what they want going forward, it really excited me and appealed to me. I wanted to be part of it.
“He knows me as a player, as does [Director of Football] Kevin Thelwell. I want to work hard and do well for the team and for the fans.
“I feel playing under a manager like Frank Lampard, he will help me to get my stats up – and that is what I want to do and improve my game.
“I am a direct runner with the ball. I like to get on the ball, cut inside and create chances for the team.
“I want to help the team as best as I can, work hard and do the defensive side of the game, too.”
