Gerard Deulofeu is keen to return to Everton, where the supporters would be equally thrilled to see him back in a Blue shirt.

On Tuesday we revealed how the Barcelona forward is eager to be reunited with Roberto Martinez at Goodison, although it remains to be seen whether a move is possible this summer.

But just in case you’d forgotten, here’s our favourite moments from the flying winger’s loan spell on Merseyside in 2013/14.

v Stevenage (H) August 28 Capital One Cup

The Catalan Kid was introduced to Goodison for the first time – and they instantly loved him.

Deulofeu terrorised the Stevenage backline all night, scored the equaliser on the stroke of half-time and got the Everton fans off their seats.

It is where the love affair started.

v Stoke City (H) November 30 Premier League

IT would be until nearly December before Deulofeu was deemed ready for a start in the Premier League.

And the on-loan winger took his chance by scoring the opening goal in the hammering of Stoke City at Goodison.

v Arsenal (A) December 8 Premier League

Just over a week later and the defining moment of Deulofeu’s season with Everton arrived.

Introduced at the Emirates with 11 minutes to go. the young Spaniard’s mission to help win the game quickly changed to salvage job.

Arsenal took the lead one minute after his arrival into the game but four minutes – and a shuffle of his feet and rocket of a shot – later and Everton were level.

v Cardiff City (H) March 15 Premier League

Everton were struggling to break down Cardiff City – and Deulofeu was struggling as well.

But after heading down cul-de-sacs all afternoon, the Barcelona man found a gap and with the aid of a slight deflection put the Blues ahead.

v Sunderland (A) April 12 Premier League

The Blues were on a six games winning streak in the league but that looked like it was coming to an half at the Stadium of Light.

Deulofeu was a largely peripheral figure in the game but he kept trying to make inroads down the right hand side.

And with 15 minutes remaining, he got his reward as a burs to the by-line and cross saw Wes Brown turn the ball past his own keeper.

Everton won 1-0
