There’s no better way to start the calendar year than with a new signing adorning the front cover of Everton magazine.

Cenk Tosun jetted in from Turkey and promptly outlined his reasons for coming to Everton, and his determination to make a tangible contribution as quickly as possible in what remains of this season.

From a January signing to a summer arrival, we catch up with Michael Keane on his time at Everton so far. The England international defender talks about his progress at Goodison, working with Sam Allardyce, and why he knows he will become a better player with the Blues.

Twenty four years ago, it’s fair to say things didn’t go according to plan for Mike Walker as Everton boss. He was relieved of his duties just six months after the Blues’ dramatic escape from relegation on the final day of the 1993/94 season. But when the Toffees played their final Europa League group match in Cyprus – where Walker now resides – we caught up to get his side of the story. He was charming company and admits that maybe Everton was the ‘right club but at the wrong time’.

Elsewhere this month we hear from Ramiro Funes Mori, who speaks about the frustration of being absent for so long and reveals that the World Cup in the summer is an extra motivation for him as he works his way back.

This is the final campaign in the half-century broadcasting career of John Motson and he’s featured this month giving the Allardyce appointment his seal of approval.

Former goalscoring legend Malcolm Macdonald tells us how Alan Ball saved his England career, and we welcome Goalkeeping Coach Martyn Margetson and Performance Director Dr Ryland Morgans to the Club.

It’s an action-packed 2018 opener for your Everton magazine…
