Romelu Lukaku has revealed how he's brought a winning mentality to Everton.
The on-loan Chelsea striker has told his teammates to puff out their chests and believe they can win the Premier League this season.
"In fact, you can say we are outsiders for the title now. You don't need to be shy about that. You have got to when you look at our points. I knew from the first day I arrived on the training ground and trained with the team. I called my agent and dad and said: 'We did something very good here.'
"I was so impressed. Chelsea was top but Everton is getting there. There is not a lot of difference and that is why I think I made a good choice. I knew after that first training session, after seeing the quality in the squad. I didn't want to say anything to the players, but then I spoke to Phil Jagielka on the bus after the West Ham game, and said: 'This year we will do something special because you are all special players. And I am not saying this because I want to be friends with you guys, but I have trained with the best players, in my eyes, in the country, and I'm telling you, you are not far from it.'
"Phil just laughed, but I was very serious and now we are showing a lot of great performances. In the New Year we have to be consistent and work and work and change those draws into wins and then we will be up there."
