The former Everton star has admitted he would like to stay at the club until the end of his career.
“I have always said I would love to end my career at this club,” the England striker told MUTV.
“If I can get anywhere near what Ryan has done it would be an amazing achievement because I regard him as the perfect role model.
“You must have great respect for the way his life is and the way he handles himself. The things he has done throughout his career and the things he has won are unbelievable.
“Everyone looks up to him and if I even get close to the number of games he has played I would be delighted.”
