In an interview with the club’s official website, Allan admitted that it is “very early” to talk about a new contract, as he has two years left on his current deal, but he is happy at the club:
“My thoughts are to remain at Everton for as long as possible,” Allan said. “It feels good, I feel at home here.
“When you feel good and motivated to do your best on the pitch, there’s no reason you would think about moving.
“It’s very early to have this conversation, I know, but I’m really happy here and hope to stay for many years and leave my mark in the hearts of the fans and at the club.
“I am really pleased with the way I was welcomed and how the supporters received me.
“I still haven’t had that feeling of the fans in a full Goodison Park but I’ve received a lot of messages welcoming me and congratulating me on my first season in an Everton shirt.
“I hope to repay them on the pitch, through good performances, and to leave an important legacy at the club.”

“I feel good in Paris, they welcomed me with open arms, I was not expecting that. Here people are warmer with their teammates, there is a big joy, a joy to play, we have fun. We are all young but very talented. Here you can only learn.
“[Mauricio Pochettino] is a very good manager. He makes us work hard but we know why, he is trying to give everyone confidence. And that is the most important thing, at least what I was looking for. He does not consider age, merely the values on the pitch. And that has helped me a lot to grow up.”
