Youssef Chermiti has become Everton’s third signing of the summer.
Chermiti arrives from Sporting Lisbon in a deal understood to be worth around £15 million to become the first cash transfer at Goodison Park this season.
The Blues’ new striker penned a four-year contract on Friday as Sean Dyche adds more firepower ahead of his side’s Premier League opener with Fulham.
And Chermiti admitted that he is relishing the challenge ahead on Merseyside.
He said: “It’s a big move for me. Joining Everton is a new beginning, a new page and I’m very happy to be here. It is a beautiful city and a beautiful club.
“I’m looking forward to meeting the fans, my new teammates and to get to work with the coach. I want to embrace everything about the club.
“I have new goals now. I’m here and I want to do my best for Everton. I want to help the team. I hope the fans will like me and I want to show them what I am capable of.
“Everton is a big club. A lot of legends have played here. I couldn’t turn down this opportunity. It’s a big moment for me and now I’m fully focused to get to work.”
Dyche added: “Youssef is a talented young striker who can add a different dimension to our squad.
“He is still a teenager who is learning his game, which we will be mindful of.
“But we think he has the raw talent and ingredients to be a very good player and that’s why we are pleased to have signed him for Everton.”
