​Everton's new signing Klaassen promises much needed goals

Everton fans will be pleased about Davy Klaassen's self-evaluation.

The 24-year old completed his £23.5m switch from Ajax on Thursday night and he quickly let fans know what to expect from him.

"I'm an attacking midfielder player who likes to get in the box," he said.

"I also like to be aggressive on the field and press all the time. I like to score and create goals and I like to win.

"I want us to get better and better as a team and we will see where we go, but I have a good feeling about it."

The Dutchman is exactly the type of player Everton is looking for after last season – ambitious, confident and talented in front of goal.

The Toffees struggled offensively in the 16/17 campaign, relying heavily on the goals of Romelu Lukaku, who scored 25 of their 62 last season.

Klaassen's attacking prowess could prove even more valuable if Lukaku leaves for Chelsea.
