Victor Anichebe hopes to start next season injury free and leading the Everton attack. Big Vic has been plagued with injuries in his Everton career, but since his comeback in January he has scored 5 goals in 13 appearances.

Although most of his appearances have been from the bench or playing out on the wing, the 24 year old hopes to get a full pre-season in and start as centre fireworks. Love your optimism Vic. For someone who has nearly double the appearances from the bench as starting for the team.

Big Vic said: "Considering the amount of appearances I've actually made it's a good return, but hopefully next year I will be playing more games and playing from the start while staying injury free.

"I expect more from myself. I need to apply that next year and be better. Someone was telling me about my goals to games ratio and it's nice to know but I don't want to look too much into it.

"I'd prefer to play more games and more minutes. Hopefully when I'm fitter and stronger I can do that from the start.

"I see myself as a forward. I don't know if it's a number nine or behind that, or just drifting but I've had experience of playing all these now. As long as I am helping the team I can't really complain. Going on I see myself as playing up front."

"There's lots of optimism for next season. The way we've finished on a good high, the players that have come in have made a big difference, and hopefully we can bring it into next season this time."
