Former Everton youngster Adam Forshaw admits he can't wait to return to Goodison next term with newly-promoted Middlesbrough.
The 24-year-old made 32 appearances in the Championship last term as Boro secured automatic promotion to the top flight with a second-place finish.
Now the Liverpool-born midfielder is eagerly eyeing the fixture list to see when he will re-visit Goodison and Anfield , the home of the club he supported as a child.
Forshaw rose through the youth ranks at Everton where he was highly-rated for his quick feet and skill, before making his professional debut in 2009.

“Everton and Liverpool – they’re the first games I look for, to be honest,” he said.
“Anfield is last game of the season and I’m definitely looking forward to those games.
“It will be good to see a few old faces at Everton and hopefully we will be on a good run by then to put in a good performance and get some points.

“Other games will be a bonus because of the amount of money teams have. But we’re confident and full of momentum and with a good pre-season behind us you look at teams like Leicester and you never know what could happen.”
Forshaw spent two seasons at Griffin Park before a move to Wigan Athletic in 2014.
He struggled to make an impact at the DW Stadium but was snapped-up by Boro in January last year on a three-and-a-half-year deal and scored twice twice.
