Davy Klaassen says it is time for Everton to “show what we can do” – but the attacker is warning his side to expect a demanding test when they attempt to kick start their European campaign against Lyon at Goodison on Thursday (8.05pm kick-off).
Klaassen’s Ajax team contested an exhilarating two-legged Europa League semi-final with French outfit Lyon back in May, eventually prevailing 5-4 on aggregate.
Furthermore, the Dutchman, who left Ajax for Everton four months ago, is familiar with the mercurial talents of two of the Ligue 1 giants’ players – and well acquainted with one of Lyon’s key defenders.
