At Chelsea I knew I'd improve a lot quicker around better players, world-class players.

In my living room I always used to tell my mum 'one day I'll score for Everton' and when that happened it was unbelievable for me.

When you first come back from a long-term injury, you're just trying to get your body in order and trying to get back into the training and match routine.

It's about getting the right balance and knowing on the pitch when is the right time to take risks.

As a player you can't be too worried if you take a risk and whether it's not going to come off.

You don't want to play in your shell.

You want to be playing off the cuff sometimes to take chances and make something happen.

To be given a fresh start at a new club like Chelsea, it's unbelievable for me.

They've got a good atmosphere and it's always a tough game at the Stadium of Light.

I played a lot of games at a young age and I feel like I'm an older player in the side now. I communicate a lot more on the pitch and in the training room now.

I just focus on getting better every day, putting things right in training and then hopefully what I'm doing right in training I'm doing to show in games as well.

I believe in myself and I know what I can do.

You have to go through bad days to get to the great days you have in your career.

I'm a striker. I feel I can have my greatest impact there because I'm free to roam around the pitch, take players on, have shots and create chances.

I never thought I would not play for my country.

We have to improve at club level - and at the international level, there is a lot of room for improvement.

We can all improve.

I have got to a level where I feel I needed to make the jump to Chelsea and push myself and get myself to a better level and playing with world-class players here is only going to help.

I want to be regarded as a world-class midfielder.

I want to get to a level where I am regarded as one of the best and coming to a club like Chelsea gives me the right platform to improve.

It's all about success, winning trophies.

If things aren't going well there's always going to be pressure that comes with it.

Every manager has their own way of approaching games.

Bad days don't always stay.
