Gerard Deulofeu: 'Everton fans brought me back'

Gerard Deulofeu says that the support he received from Everton fans played a part in him returning to Goodison Park on a permanent basis.

Gerard Deulofeu has revealed that the Everton supporters played a part in his return to the club.

The Spanish winger has completed a permanent move back to Goodison Park from Barcelona on a three-year deal, following a successful loan stint in the 2013-14 season.

Deulofeu says that he received numerous messages from Everton fans who were keen to hear more about his proposed return to Merseyside.

"I had a great year when I was here last," the 21-year-old told Everton's official website. "I really enjoyed my time here. I felt loved by the Evertonians and I was surrounded by really good teammates. I'm very happy to be back.

"The fans here are great and I felt really supported by them. Obviously I went back to Barcelona and then Sevilla but here, the fans live for their football.

"The Everton fans have been sending me messages all the time on social media, on Instagram and Twitter, asking me questions. If I have got 50 notifications on Twitter, 40 of them will be from Everton fans asking what is going on!"

Deulofeu spent last season on loan at Sevilla.
