Marouane Fellaini: 'Everton want Champions League'

Marouane Fellaini has revealed that the entire Everton squad have set themselves the target of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

To realise that ambition the Toffees must finish within the top four of the Premier League table - a position that they currently occupy with 16 matches played.

However, despite their positive start to the season, the Belgian international has insisted that there is plenty more work for Everton to do before they secure European football.

"This season we have played well," he told the club's official website. "We thank the fans because we have great support.

"Everybody wants to play Champions League next season so we work hard for this and hopefully we can finish in the top four."

Fellaini has found the net on eight occasions this campaign.
