Everton midfielder Darron Gibson has revealed that he expects to score more goals this season.

Gibson has just one Toffees goal to his name since joining the club in January, albeit a memorable winning strike against champions Manchester City.

The Republic of Ireland international told the club's official website: "More goals would be my main aim and obviously just to keep the performances going and hopefully the team can finish higher than last year.

"Everyone is buzzing to be back, everyone is looking like they are getting fit and the games come thick and fast now so we are looking forward to it."

The 24-year-old will come up against his old team again in Everton's Premier League opener at home to Manchester United on August 20.
