Everton defender Ashley Williams says manager Ronald Koeman demands the players are at their best every day.

Williams arrived at Goodison Park last summer from Swansea City.

“The main thing that sticks out is how much he keeps pushing you and driving you on, every day in training, every game we play," said Williams.

“He won't accept anything other than 100% effort and he's very smart with the way that he manages the team. I've enjoyed my first season with him.

“He's obviously one of the best defenders there has been and you only have to look at what he won as a player to see he deserves respect. He's been great for us and he wants us to push on."
