Becks wants better

Jermaine Beckford is satisfied with his first season in the Premier League with Everton, but wants to do even better next season.

“As a striker you want to score in every game and that is my aim as a footballer,” he explained.

“I feel like I have improved here, largely because I am playing with better players and over the course of last season I got to know their games and they got to know mine.

“Also I have not been used to playing as a one up top and that is something I have had to get used to and hopefully people have been able to see a slight improvement.

“My aim now is to come back, have a really good pre-season, get into the team straight away and stay there.

“If that does not happen then so be it but you can be sure I’ll still be working hard in training and putting myself in the frame for a regular start.

“I am more than happy at the club and with what I have achieved so far. It was good to get into double figures in my first season and hopefully next year I can get even more.”
