Delph hellbent on ending Everton trophy drought

Fabian Delph says ending Everton's 24-year trophy drought is his main aim.

The England international joined the Toffees from Manchester City after winning two Premier League titles under Pep Guardiola.

And Delph wants to bring that winning mentality to Goodison Park.

"I've been fortunate enough to be in a squad full of winning mentality," Delph said in his first press conference since joining. "I'm not going to change coming here. The main goal is to be successful and win something.

"I'm aware the club hasn't won something in a long time. That's top of my list to hopefully try and push the lads and them to push me and win something.

"[The winning mentality] probably comes easier to me because I'm one of the older players. You don't have to be the best player in the team to influence people, to drive and to set standards high with good habits.

"The winning mentality is massive. Everyone needs to be on it and have that mentality in training. There's no egos here. A great work ethic and the staff are fantastic."
