 Welcome to Toffee TV. It is the Everton News daily. Tim Cahill has been speaking about his aspirations of coming back to Everton one day. He was asked in an interview about Mark Noble being appointed the West Ham Sporting Director and he said he was, could he see himself being in a similar role at Everton. He said since retiring I've really focused on my academics. Ffordd Micheli asked me to be part of the process in picking Frank Lampard as the manager for Everton and that role is a work in progress. I'm away in progress. He said my Everton connection will always be there. How that is going forward is down to the owners to talk about. For me to be a strong leader you have to evolve. If I want to go to Everton one day I'm going to go with my eyes wide open. I'm only 42. When an opportunity comes I need to be ready. Obviously Tim Cahill has been working for Aspire in Qatar ahead of the World Cup. They own different clubs around Europe and he's been involved in that kind of thing. As he said in the interview there he was part of the interview process that picked Frank Lampard. So it's going to be really interesting to see because there was a lot of talk around the time that Frank Lampard came in that he might be part of being a technical director or something. Obviously Kevin Felwell came in and took that role but could there be a role for Tim Cahill? Certainly after the World Cup sort of winds down in Qatar and maybe his role at Aspire maybe winds down with that. Could he be part of it? He's obviously someone who wants to go into that side of the game. He's done his coaching badges. He's done them at Everton. It's not enough for Finch Farn but sees himself on that side of the game. Very intelligent has done degrees and stuff on that side of the game. So it would be interesting to see whether Everton could find room for him. Obviously recently James Vaughan came back to the club after serving out his apprenticeship. He speaks at Samir. He's the loan manager. I'm sure James Vaughan sees himself as someone who can go through the various stages at Everton to maybe find himself one day as a director of football. But obviously Tim Cahill, very savvy individual, a big name in world football. It would be great to have him back at Everton doing something like that. Not just for the sake of it obviously but because he deserves to be that and he's certainly at the moment over in Qatar laying the foundations to come back to Everton. I think he's still got a home in Manchester and I imagine he sees this as his home now and he is obviously a big player. It would be great to have him back at Everton. More than just an ambassador because they come and go, it would be great to have him as part of the fabric of Everton and getting back to the club. Very interesting interview with him there. Obviously Frank Lampard did his press conference yesterday ahead of the game and one of the things he spoke about in the game was how to stop Mitrovich. Obviously Mitrovich is going to be a big figure for Fulham this season. He's the fit person who leads the line and is scoring the goals and they'll be looking to keep him quiet tomorrow. Here's Frank Lampard's thoughts on Mitrovich. He's shown himself. I know what you mean in terms of Premier League but I saw his international record recently and he's outstanding as well. I think he's a top level player anyway and for whatever circumstances previously he hasn't maybe been as prolific and now everything is working for him. I think he's an all-round striker who's really strong but crosses are a big threat and it's two-fold. Stopping crosses and dealing with balls in the box in the dangerous goalscoring areas where he's very difficult to mark if he can get a jump and a run and you know in the area he's one of the best players in the league for sure. So we understand the threat. It's up to the Lazter to stop it. There are other threats in the Fulham team but clearly he's a big threat for them. So there you go obviously Mitrovich is the big worry for Everton tomorrow and hopefully James Tarkowski and Conagord you can keep him quiet. We'll have to wait and see if we can. In other news today Everton under 18s midfielder Matthew Apte has signed his first contract. There is a three-year deal and sees him tied down for Everton for three years part of Leighton Baines' teams. That's fantastic news Everton have been handing those contracts out obviously recently and trying to get players tied down especially with other clubs in the north west. Obviously with a big net trying to catch all the top talent so Everton nailing down another player. Another one of Everton's talented youngsters played last night. Jared Branthway played 18 minutes for PS3 in their victory over Arsenal in the Europa League. What a fantastic experience for them to play in a game where PS3 were absolutely brilliant on the night and obviously beating Arsenal 2-0. We really did have a fantastic game and I think that opens up some fantastic opportunities going forward with Everton having the likes of Jere Mina out of contact at the end of the season. Michael Keane I imagine would be available to get Jared Branthway back having a year of real good experience at PSV and hopefully he goes on and plays more games for them and plays in Europe. What a fantastic opportunity for him this season has been and hopefully he gets more games and comes back a real player ready to go to the next level of his career and be someone who's knocking on the door and having a young player there at Everton with the likes of Connor Cody and the likes of James Talkowski ahead of them showing them the ropes. I think that would be fantastic for him as well. Well done to Jared Branthway last night and in our last piece of news Everton have redecorated the tunnel at Gullison Park with all images of the flags at Gullison Park. The Gladys Street looking absolutely fantastic if you check out our socials you will see some of them. They look absolutely superb and it's nice to see Everton giving a little nod to the fans. The fans have obviously backed them so much in the last year and helped Everton obviously stay in the Premier League so that's a lovely nod to the fans in the tunnel. I think Evan have put a video out as well so make sure you check that out. There you go. This has been the Evan News Daily obviously big game tomorrow.
