Udinese winger Gerard Deulofeu admits he feels a close affinity to Everton.

Deulofeu had two spells with the Blues earlier in his career.

Asked when he will retire, the Spaniard said: "I don't know, it's still too early to think about it. Which team would I like to say goodbye to? There are teams, like Everton or Milan, that I am very fond of.

"But I don't know, I see it very far away, I haven't thought about it. Right now is not the time to decide, it's time to stretch my good form to the maximum, away from injuries.

"Wherever I end up doesn't matter right now, but it will be a place that will make me happy, that's for sure."
