Jo showed enough during a six-month temporary stay in the second half of last season to persuade Moyes into extending the forward’s Goodison career.
And the Everton manager believes the 22-year-old is now becoming firmly established within the squad.
“Jo was a real handful and I thought he played well,” said Moyes. “He create chances, made a goal and looked the most likely to score. He was a real positive.
“He looks as if he is getting better, and he is beginning to grasp it a little bit better.
“He is understanding the club a bit more and the pleasing thing for me is that he’s been close to goals in games.
“We have been trying to build him up, build up his confidence and make him stronger, and if we can do that then we’ll get a goal return from him.”
Everton supporters without tickets for tonight’s friendly are being urged not to travel as the away allocation is sold out and no tickets will be on sale at Bloomfield Road before the game.
