Everton fullback Lucas Digne feels they can be regular competitors in Europe under manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Digne penned terms to 2025 yesterday.

“We have a big project with the club and can reach something very good at the end of this season and for the next few years," Digne told evertontv.

“I want to play in Europe, I want to play for the national team and for the national team the competition is really strong so I have to play at the best level.

“I play in the best league and I want to play in the best cup in Europe and I want to do that with Everton.

“I have seen the progress every year since joining the club, we are building a strong team.

“It was clear in my mind that I want to continue with Everton. All the team improved this season because we are stronger than last year.

“Offensively and defensively, I worked a lot tactically with the manager. He's won three Champions Leagues, he has this winning mentality.

“He brings something different, he has the experience. He knows when he can relax the group, when he can push us. He is the perfect coach for us."
