New Everton keeper Jonas Lossl is hoping that the team's trip to Kenya will give him the chance to show what he is capable of.
The Danish international was signed by boss Marco Silva from Huddersfield Town following the Terriers relegation from the Premier League.
I do hope this will be my first chance to show people what I can do.
Jonas Lossl
He joins a Toffees squad already served in the goalkeeping department by England regular Jordan Pickford and Maarten Stekelenburg.
However, with the squad in Nairobi in pre-season to take on Kariobangi Sharks, Lossl is hoping to use the match to showcase his qualities.
He told evertontv: "I do hope this will be my first chance to show people what I can do. The next game is always a game I hope to play!
"But it is going to be an interesting match and, of course, I can't wait to get out there. I can't wait to get on the pitch with the team and just play some football again.
"It has been some weeks since I was on the pitch and to play the first game [would be good]... I really hope that's going to be my first encounter with the team."
Lossl's two seasons with Huddersfield saw him make 57 Premier League appearances for the club and before that he had spells with FC Midtjylland in his native Denmark, in France with Guincamp and a season with Mainz in the Bundesliga.
Following the trip to Africa, Everton play further pre-season games against Sion and Monaco in Switzerland before trips to face Wigan Athletic and Werder Bremen.
The Toffees then begin the new Premier League season away to Crystal Palace on 10th August, followed a week later by their first home game of the new campaign, Watford the visitors to Goodison Park.
Everton are at 7/4 to win at Selhurst Park on the opening day with Roy Hodgson's side 6/4 and the draw 23/10.
Silva's side are 7/2 to finish the season in the top six in the table with Leicester 11/2.
