Carlo Ancelotti features in Friday’s local and national newspapers, with the Everton manager revealing his ambition to be in charge of the Blues when the Club moves into its proposed new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Ancelotti’s current contract with Everton lasts until 2024 – and the Toffees could reportedly move into their new ground in time for the 2024/25 campaign, subject to Government approval.

The Daily Mail and The Independent carry quotes from Ancelotti, who said: "I would like to be there when the new stadium will be opened.

“It will be a good achievement for me, of course. I think if you finish the contract in 2024 you will have done a good job and, if you do a good job, the contract will not be stopped in 2024. It will continue.”

Gylfi Sigurdsson, meanwhile, has declared “anything is possible” for Everton as they look to build on Saturday’s Merseyside derby win at Anfield.

The Blues return to action on Monday night when Southampton visit Goodison Park (8pm GMT).

"If we can get a few results back-to-back, it would set us up nicely for the last couple of months of the season,” Sigurdsson told Sky Sports.

“Beating Liverpool shows we're moving in the right direction, but these three points are only going to count for something if we pick up another three on Monday."

The Daily Mirror, meanwhile, shines a light on the friendship formed by Blues midfielder Tom Davies and an Everton in the Community participant who was suffering with poor mental health.

Ryan Spencer admits he had considered taking his own life before joining EitC’s Imagine Your Goals programme, which supports young people with mental health issues through sport.

He has since spoken about his journey with Everton midfielder Davies – and the pair have struck up a close friendship.

“I’m in a better place now,” says Ryan. "Meeting people like Tom gives you momentum to do things, something to get up for, and not lay in bed for two weeks, feeling depressed.

“Tom is really caring. He has even given me his personal number. That is trust.”

Davies added: “To see Ryan the first time we met and to see how much he has come on is amazing. His life has been tough and now he is like a new person. I get on so well with him and I consider him a friend myself.”
