Luke Garbutt is open to a permanent move to Ipswich Town at the expiration of his Everton contract this summer.
The left-back is spending the campaign at Portman Road and has bagged three goals so far this term including a stunning free-kick against Tranmere Rovers.
Ipswich hold a four-point lead at the top of League One and Garbutt, 26, says he is determined to help secure an instant return to the Championship before thinking about his own future.
"Everton were at the Fleetwood game watching and they're pleased with the progress I'm making but my soul focus is making sure I play to the best of my ability for Ipswich and to make sure we get promoted this season," he told the East Anglian Daily Times.
"I've really enjoyed my time here, I've settled in well into the group and the fans are brilliant. Playing in front of 20,000 is what I want to be doing.
"So as long as we keep playing well and doing well as a squad I don't see why I wouldn't stay permanently. I'm settled and enjoying my football.
"I think I'll leave that side of it to my agent and the powers that be at this football club because at the moment I'm just focussing on my football and trying to perform to the best I possibly can do."
Fellow Everton defenders Matthew Pennington and Callum Connolly have both spent time at Portman Road in recent seasons and Garbutt says the Tractor Boys' relegation last term was a 'travesty'.
"This club should be a Championship club at a minimum," he added.
"It's a bit of a travesty that we were relegated last year but the lads have taken on board exactly what the manager wanted, right back to pre-season and we've kicked on massively.
"We've bucked the losing trend and now we're on a winning one."
