Everton beat West Ham United and Chelsea to the free signing of Brazilian forward Bernard last summer.
The 26-year-old had spent the last five months prior to his Goodison Park arrival recovering from a shoulder injury.
Nevertheless, he managed to make 34 Premier League appearances for Marco Silva side, scoring once and assisting thrice.
Bernard is looking forward to doing more in the final third next season, and while a reunion with one of his former Atletico Mineiro teammates isn’t on the cards, the forward has revealed that former Everton loanee Jo would love to play for the Blues once again.
