Staying put: Tim Cahill has big plans for Everton
Everton midfielder Tim Cahill insists he has no plans to return
to his native Australia until he has played in the Champions League
with David Moyes' side.
A number of Socceroos stars have returned home from European
clubs this summer, with Jason Culina signing for new A-League
franchise Gold Coast United from PSV Eindhoven while Mile
Sterjovski has left Derby to join Perth Glory.
But 29-year-old Cahill, who will play for his country against
the Republic of Ireland next week in Limerick, says he has
unfinished business in Europe before he contemplates heading back
to his homeland.
'I won't be too soon in coming back to Australia because I need
to win things,' he said.
'I need to work hard and try and push Everton as far as we can
and to try and win some trophies.
'It's hard to put times on things because look what happened
with Jason Culina and Mile and a lot of the boys.
'You never know but I'm very ambitious in the fact that I want
to play in the Champions League and 29 years old in football terms
is very young.'
