Everton boss Roberto Martinez believes Samuel Eto'o can help the club move to the next level.
Martinez is impressed by Eto'o's desire to help Everton push on to the next level having snubbed better financial offers from elsewhere.
The Everton manager said: "It was an instant feeling. Once I met him and we spoke about football, I was so impressed where he was mentally - a real desire and hunger to achieve.
"In every aspect he is perfect for the team and the squad. It is the perfect timing to start an exciting relationship.
"He had many options abroad. It could be a financial decision or a footballing decision, but he wanted to make a footballing decision and he chose us. That is a compliment."
