Gueye eyeing first-team run

Everton striker Magaye Gueye is determined to make an impact on the Barclays Premier League next season.

The Frenchman, who joined the Toffees from Strasbourg last year, showed plenty of promise in his debut season with the Blues, but is eyeing a more regular place this term.

He is eager to add to his five Barclays Premier League appearances and hopes to do that by impressing manager David Moyes, starting with the opening day match at Tottenham Hotspur.
"Next season hopefully I can play more games," Gueye told the club's official website. "I think this first year was more about settling in and learning about English football.

"I think I have already got better in my time here. I have got more used to the style of play as it is different from France where the football is not as physical. That is the biggest difference I have had to get used to.

"My objective is to come back and have a really good pre-season, get really fit and strong, impress the manager and get into the team for the first game. I need to get a bit stronger, keep working hard and believe in myself.

"If I am on the pitch then I am happy," he added. "I like it at Everton and I am here for five years. My aim is to play more games now and improve as a player in the English league."
