Theo Walcott scored 19 goals with Arsenal last season, the third highest total for any English player in the Premier League, but since his move to Everton he has struggled to find the back of the net. However, the striker insists he is happy with what he has done so far.

He scored on his second appearance for the 'Toffees', but has not found the back of the net again since. 

"I will always be judged on goals but if the team is winning and I am contributing in different ways I will be happy with that," he told 'evertontv'.

"Of course, I want to score goals as well but it is about the three points in the end and it was about a team performance (against Stoke) and grinding out a result.

"I have only played a handful of games and settled in quickly, which I am pleased with.

"We have a lot of interesting games coming and, hopefully, we can push on. If we can have a good end to the season, then next season can be pretty special, I believe."

He went on to talk about the impact that Cenk Tosun has had since his arrival at Goodison Park. The Turkish striker scored twice to give Everton the win against Stoke at the weekend, and he now has four in three games. 

"Without a doubt, when you have a big man up front and you put it into an area and he attacks it, that is all you want as a winger," he added.

"That is all I want and what he (Tosun) is going to want. The manager has always told me to deliver a good ball into the area when I can.

"I put in a few good ones at Stoke and Cenk showed his class. We see it every day in training. It always takes time to get used to the Premier League and a different culture and to get to know your team-mates.

"But he has settled in really well. He is a great finisher and a great man, as well. I am really pleased for him."
