The midfielder left Chelsea for Everton this past summer.
He told evertonfc.com: “The feeling of the club. It feels like a real family club, I don’t really know how to explain it really.
“The fanbase is so big and it means so much to the people, which I love because football’s my life and it feels like it’s their life as well. We’re sort of on the same page.
“I see how passionate they are and how much they want to win, and it just resonates with me because that’s how I live my life. I’m not saying that the other clubs weren’t like that, but I just feel like Everton’s on a different level.
“I was speaking with someone the other day and I said: ‘Imagine playing for Everton when you’re pushing for things and trying to win things?’
“It must be like one of the best places to play. So, that’s what I want to get to because that would be an amazing feeling because you see how got they (the fans) are even in the tough times, but imagine when it’s going a bit better.”
