Everton goalkeeper Joao Virginia is aiming for a first team breakthrough next season.
Virginia has just helped the U23s to the Prem 2 title this week.
“Marco Silva has enjoyed my evolution and is always following me, just like [goalkeeping coach] Hugo Oliveira," Virginia told O Jogo.
“They both talk a lot to me and one of the main developments I had was in consistency. An example of this was, in eleven games, to have nine clean sheets.
“I now want to make my debut in the Premier League."
