Brendan Galloway is targeting a fresh start with the Blues after returning from his season-long loan spell at West Bromwich Albion.
And the defender says his time away from Goodison has made him appreciate there is “nothing quite like Everton”.
Galloway moved to the Hawthorns last August but played only five times during his stint with the Baggies.
West Brom manager Tony Pulis described Galloway as a “pleasure to work with” but opportunities ultimately proved limited in the left-back position for the 21-year-old.
Galloway will go away on his summer’s break and return to Finch Farm in July, determined to build on an Everton career which has seen him make 21 competitive first-team appearances.
