James Tarkowski says he wants to target European football with Everton after agreeing a new two-year contract extension to keep him at the club until the summer of 2028.
The 32-year-old defender has played every minute of the Toffees' campaign so far, captaining the side in the absence of Seamus Coleman.
"I'm super excited and proud to be an Everton player and to continue this journey," Tarkowski told club media.
"I've loved every minute so far of working under the manager [David Moyes]. He has made it clear where we're going with this club. The results and performances have really improved in his time here and it does seem to be going in one direction.
"The reason I've signed is because I want to be a part of that."
Everton are still unbeaten at Hill Dickinson Stadium and Tarkowski wants to use the momentum of their new home to help drive the club forward.
"It's probably the best atmosphere I've ever experienced," the centre-back added.
"It's always been an ambition of mine to play European football. I had a brief spell with Burnley in the qualifiers but we didn't make it to the group stages.
"It's the manager's goal, it's our goal as a team.
"We're definitely striving to get into those European spots and bring European football to our new stadium."
