The 25-year old, who joined the Toffees from Standard Liege in 2008, has played in a number of roles for boss David Moyes.
But at 6ft4 and with superb ability with both his feet and in the air, he has been fully utilised in attacking areas for the Premier League side this season.
The Belgium international, though, feels his true talents lie in a more defensive role, telling the Daily Mirror: "I think I am a defensive midfielder.
"But the manager thinks I can play number 10, number eight, number six, so I play wherever he wants and I give my maximum.
"I prefer defensive midfielder because I know my job when I play there. More things are in front of you. It is difficult to play with your back to goal. It is not my position but the manager likes me there and I am happy to do it.
"I don't have a goal target. Now I have more chances to score because I play in front but scoring is not my obsession."
