Gareth Barry as motivated as ever as he looks to impress Ronald Koeman

Everton's Gareth Barry says the arrival of new coach Ronald Koeman is keeping him motivated ahead of his 20th season in the Premier League.

The 35-year-old Barry holds the record for Premier League starts, having begun 573 matches during his time with Aston Villa, Manchester City and Everton.

But he is not lacking motivation as he looks to prove himself once again following Koeman's arrival.
