Super Kev Mirallas is enjoying life at Everton. The 24 year old has scored 3 goals in his 5 starts for The Toffees since his arrival in the Summer.
He was involved in the first two goals on Saturday against Southampton and now the Belgium International is wanting Everton to press on and stay in the top four.
Super Kev said: "It's going a lot better than I could have hoped for. The settling in period has been a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be.
"That's because of various reasons. My team-mates are really cool with me, they have been great with me. They talk to me a lot and support me a lot.
"The other big factor is that I've spent a lot more time on the field and played in more games than I thought I might have done at first.
"I'm still not quite there physically. I still need a good run of games to be 100% fit. I had a chat with the manager when I first came here and he was fully aware that I hadn't a full pre-season because I'd had a problem with my knee. I'm trying to catch up on that by playing games.
"I knew before I signed about the physical aspect of the Premier League. I was mentally prepared for that before I even came here.
"One of the advantages of the way I play is that I am quick, so I try to avoid those hard challenges that skilful players with ability like myself tend to attract.
"Before I signed, I was looking at the Europa League being a more realistic ambition. But certainly now as the season has got under way, we have got a good crop of players here and are playing some really nice football.
"It's fantastic that we are second and our ambition now has to be stay up there and put pressure on those around us. It's a long season though and there's a long way to go, so we'll have to see what happens."
