Marco Silva’s Everton side brought in Fabian Delph to offer them experience and knowhow in the middle of the pitch.

Everton new boy Fabian Delph has told the Liverpool Echo that he immediately spotted how hard his teammates were working in training upon signing.

Delph joined Everton from Manchester City this summer, as Marco Silva turned to the England international to add experience and knowhow to his squad.

And Delph has already been impressed by just how hard Everton’s players are working in training.

“One of the biggest things I noticed when I first came here was that the work ethic is second to none,” Delph said.

“We cover a hell of a lot of distance in training, and fitness-wise there’s not been many in the treatment room. Everyone seems very fit, very strong.

“It’s what we base our game on – work ethic, winning the ball back, closing down players, winning individual players and then we’ve obviously got talented players that can get the ball down and keep possession.”

Delph made a slow start at Everton, after injury struck in pre-season, but he has started to come into Silva’s side now.

Delph has been selected to start in Everton’s last two matches and his performances have caught the eye.

The Toffees have won both the matches which Delph has featured in so far, firstly against Lincoln City and then against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Delph is set to be put through his paces with his Everton teammates in training over the next fortnight, as he has not been named in Gareth Southgate’s most recent England squad.

The Toffees are next in action in two weekends’ time, when they take on Bournemouth.
