APOSTOLOS VELLIOS is prepared to steal from Everton FC team-mate Louis Saha – in an effort to make himself a better player.
Vellios has forced his way into the Everton FC first team this season following his arrival from Greek side Iraklis in January.
Having netted in substitute appearances against Wigan Athletic and Chelsea, the 19-year-old striker was rewarded with a first-ever starting role for the trip to Fulham last month.
Vellios was back on the bench last week against Manchester United and is likely to remain there for tomorrow’s visit to Newcastle United with Saha poised to lead the line against a former club for the third successive weekend.
But the Greece under-21 international believes he can learn much from his fellow forward.
“Louis is helping me so much,” said Vellios. “We speak every day and I definitely want to steal some of his moves!
“He is a great player and he helps me so much. He is a big star and gives me lots of really good advice.
“Training here is obviously very different from Greece. We train a lot harder, there is much more focus and the level is higher. It helps you in the games.”
Vellios scored within 18 seconds of coming on at Stamford Bridge, but admits it was a more demanding experience to start from the first whistle at Fulham the following weekend.
