The midfielder spent the second-half of last season on-loan with Derby County and featured in Everton's first friendly of the preseason for their 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley.
He told EvertonTV+: "We know the results will get better as we get more game time – the main theme today was fitness and getting back on the grass. I thought the first half we showed a little bit of where we want to be at but the second half wasn't good enough, so we know we've got to improve.
"I always like to be involved. I think that's part of my game, being busy. Obviously, as time goes on, playing more with players like Tim (Iroegbunam) and Jimmy (Garner), I'll get used to what they like to do more and maybe I can get in more dangerous positions. I think I've done well, but there's plenty to improve on.
"I think with the loan I've grown as a player so I'm just trying to show different sides to my game and hopefully I can impress. I'm taking the approach of what's best to happen will happen. I'm just seeing how it goes really and taking each day as it comes."
