Gerard Deulofeu: "I need to be playing"

Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu insists that he needs to be playing more for his new club to make an impression, after featuring as a substitute in four league matches.

Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu has suggested that he wants to play more often for the Toffees.

The 21-year-old - who joined Everton on a permanent deal in July - has made just four substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, and Deulofeu insists that he needs to be playing first-team football to make an impression.

Speaking to Spanish newspaper Marca, Deulofeu said: "[Everton manager] Roberto Martinez makes me feel very calm, though I know that being calm isn't really me, and I tell him that.

"I need to be playing, to feel important. I now see myself as more professional. I live by football, and it is football that will bring me glory.

"I really want to show what I have to give. I want to establish myself here and play a lot of games for Everton."

Deulofeu made 29 appearances for the Toffees during a loan spell at the club in 2013-14, scoring four goals.
