Dwight McNeil wants to take his game to 'the next level' with Everton.
At 22, McNeil already has 134 Premier League appearances to his name.
"It is good to have the stats to back you up, but it is about taking risks and having confidence and, hopefully, that approach pays off this season," McNeil told evertontv.
"Burnley helped me become the player I am today. Now I am at Everton, I want to get to that next level and I will be working every day to improve.
"The manager knows me as a player and told me what he wanted from me if I came here and his aims and goals for the future of the Club.
"I know within myself… last season, my stats were down in the position I play.
"I feel playing under a manager like Frank Lampard, he will help me get my stats up – that is what I want to do, alongside improving my game.
"Last season was difficult for the Club, but going into the last bit of the season, you saw from the players and fans, the desire and mentality and togetherness they have.
"They came together and united as one, which I thought played a key part in keeping them up.
"This season, they want to do better and I want to be part of the team to help them do that.
"When I heard the manager's plans, they really excited me and appealed to me. I want to work hard and do well for the team and for the fans."
