# Everton: Fans hail Tom Davies following heartwarming club exclusive

**Tom Davies has come on leaps and bounds since being forced into a pivotal midfield role, filling the shoes of teammate Andre Gomes, and many supporters have been impressed with the way he has performed recently.**

Davies put on a [Man of the Match display during the Toffees’ 2-1 victory at Southampton](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7668071/Southampton-1-2-Everton-Tom-Davies-Richarlison-goals-seal-victory-Marco-Silvas-side.html), a match where the Englishman nicked an early opening goal, and supporters are now taking to him even more following a brilliant exclusive with the youngster.

[Speaking to the club’s official website](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/1497023/davies-reveals-key-to-excellent-form), Davies outlined how he is feeling stronger and fitter than ever, even revealing that he has become a vegetarian.

“I am feeling strong and fit – that side of my game is coming along and I can feel it out on the pitch,” Davies [told EvertonTV.](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/1497023/davies-reveals-key-to-excellent-form)

“I have always done extra in the gym and I am a vegetarian now.

“I feel strong and also that I am growing into the physicality of the Premier League. I am happy with everything and how things are going for me.”

The Englishman has been given a chance to shine, partly due the absence of Andre Gomes after a horror tackle against Spurs required him to undergo ankle surgery.

So far this season, in his limited outings, Davies has amassed a 78.3% pass success rate in midfield ([via WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/316077/Show/Tom-Davies)) and that number is only set to improve if he keeps putting in brilliant displays like his showing at St. Mary’s.

As a result, Toffees supporters have jumped to the midfielder’s praise on Twitter.

> Tom is maturing into a proper player with his new strength and confidence. We should give other lads the chance and not let them leave.

> Just watched Howard’s way….it’s so important to have local lads in the team. Everyone gets on board with it more. I love this lad and hope he keeps going from strength to strength because that’s what Everton is
