Everton's on-loan signing Gerard Deulofeu is confident he can hit the ground running in the Premier League.
The 19-year-old has moved to Goodison Park on a season-long loan from Barcelona and cannot wait to dazzle Everton fans with the skills he has learned from the likes of Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta.
The Spaniard said: "I'm an attacking player and I can play wide. I'm quite quick, quite decent at one-on-one situations and I'm looking forward very much to helping the Everton team.
"Obviously training at Barcelona is a fantastic experience. You train alongside players like Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, who are clearly some of the best players in the world.
"To learn from them is a very nice experience."
Deulofeu scored 18 times in 32 appearances for Bareclona's B side last season and starred at this summer's Under-20 World Cup in Israel, netting a brace in Spain's 4-1 group-stage win over USA.
Due to his international involvement, Deulofeu is enjoying a short break before linking up with Everton for pre-season training.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting my new teammates and getting started," he said.
"Obviously I have got a few days holiday coming my way because I have just finished in the tournament, but I can't wait to get started."
