# Everton: Fans react to Gerard Deulofeu’s comments

**Gerard Deulofeu only had two full seasons as an Everton player, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gerard-deulofeu/profil/spieler/129476), but that hasn’t stopped him building a relationship with the club and its fans.**

He spoke very fondly of the Toffees while talking to [**Sky Sports**](https://www.skysports.com/):

> “I have a good relationship and a good connection with Everton fans. They love me and I love them. Every time I go to Goodison, the people are really happy and I’m proud about this.” – [@gerardeulofeu](https://twitter.com/gerardeulofeu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) on his relationship with the Everton fans[pic.twitter.com/Rp0nSjtG4U](https://t.co/Rp0nSjtG4U)

The Spaniard was impressive for Watford last season, scoring 10 goals and assisting five in 26 Premier League starts and four substitute appearances, as per [**WhoScored**](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/98317/History/Gerard-Deulofeu) – he also averaged 1 key pass and 1.6 dribbles per game throughout the campaign.

A mix of the 25-year-old’s technical ability and the relationship he shares with the fans have led to some Evertonians suggesting they would like to have him back in a blue shirt.

The fans will be seeing him back at Goodison Park soon, though not in the capacity they would like, as Everton host Deulofeu and his Watford team-mates in their second Premier League game of the season on Saturday.

A selection of Twitter reaction to the comments, including posts from reminiscing Everton fans, can be seen below:

> Lets get a petition going to make Brands sort out our right wing issues by instigating a Walcott swap deal for him ASAP
