Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has only been at Everton for a matter of months and the 27-year-old has already endeared himself with the fans.
The summer transfer window on Merseyside was a hugely successful one for David Moyes, who was handed some real quality players.
Moyes wants to do something special at Everton this season as the 62-year-old eyes a European finish in the Premier League.
Everton may need some more signings in the January window of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s quality following his stunning recent form.
It is not just on the pitch where the midfielder is shining, though.
Dewsbury-Hall has hailed Everton fans in recent weeks and his latest comment will only win him more support from the Evertonians.

“Genuinely, probably how many [Everton] fans there actually are. I think Everton is a bit of a sleeping giant. They’ve always been in the Premier League, everyone knows they’re a massive club,” he said.
“But it’s just weird how many fans there are. There are so many! I get more messages now than I did when I was at Chelsea.”
“I’ve been on holiday to places like New York whilst I’ve been here and there’s so many fans over there. That’s really surprised me; just the amount of Evertonians everywhere.”
It is no real surprise that Everton fans want to greet their £25m midfielder, with Moyes so impressed by Dewsbury-Hall’s recent form.
He then shared a line which all Everton fans will have loved to hear as he took aim at their bitter city rivals.
“I’ve had a couple of walks around Liverpool and there’s so many fans. I feel like there’s way more Everton fans in Liverpool,” Dewsbury-Hall added.

Having netted three goals in his last four Premier League games, there is a big test coming up for all Everton players to continue finding the back of the net as Iliman Ndiaye departs next week.
Ndiaye could be absent from Everton until the middle of January due to his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations.
This period is going to provide the likes of Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish with even more opportunities to embed themselves among those Everton supporters.
