Leon Osman ready for "new challenge'

Everton midfielder Leon Osman has revealed that he is looking forward to working under a new manager next season.

The 32-year-old, who has spent his entire Toffees career under Manchester United-bound David Moyes, also admitted his delight at penning a new two-year extension with the club.

"It's a relief to have penned the contract. Firstly I can go and enjoy the summer and relax knowing that's sorted," he told the club's official website.

"Then it's about getting my head down, working and achieving something for the club next season.

"It's going to be a new challenge and someone new to impress which should raise the bar for everyone at the club. Everyone will have to step up and perform, so I look forward to the challenge."

Osman earned his first cap for England last season.
