Tim Cahill admits Everton must become European regulars to keep their best players.
David Moyes' men still have an outside chance of making the Europa League and Aussie ace Cahill, 30, is desperate for Everton to be silverware contenders.
He said: "Players are getting older and you can keep saying 'if only' so many times.
"If we can't do it, other players are going to go elsewhere and look for Champions League football and at this stage in my career it's something I want to do."
