Everton FC star Jack Rodwell targets top four finish after agreeing to new Toffees deal

Jack Rodwell 300JACK RODWELL pledged his future to Everton and immediately targeted Champions League football as his royal blue ambition.The 19-year-old insisted he can fulfil his footballing ambitions at Goodison Park, after completing the formalities of his five-year deal yesterday.Rodwell's new contract brings an end to speculation linking him with a £15m move to Manchester United and Chelsea, and the midfielder is hoping he can play at the highest level thanks to his continuing progress under David Moyes.Already touted as a future full England international, the Birkdale youngster is confident his new deal will boost his chances of a call-up into future Fabio Capello squads.He said: 'It would be brilliant. It would obviously show I am playing as good as I can be, and hopefully sooner rather than later that can happen.'I haven't had any contact from the full England set-up.'You hear rumours in the papers and stuff saying 'he's got a shot', but I don't really look into that sort of stuff.'I play for the U21s now and maybe next season even more so, so hopefully I'll kick on now and see what happens.'I feel like I can fulfil all my ambitions here.'The club has a great squad at the moment and if everybody is fit, like we showed the back end of last season, we can do really well. I think we can beat the big teams as well.'
