Everton new boy Jack Harrison believes he has the right characteristics to boost the team on the pitch.

The former Leeds United winger has signed on the dotted line, having been pursued by several teams.

While Everton were concerned they may not get Harrison over the line, they now have the 26-year-old to bed into manager Sean Dyche's squad.

Harrison told evertontv: “It's a pleasure to get the deal over the line. I'm really excited to be here. The general feeling from the club has been super positive so I'm just hoping to get back fit soon and be back out on the pitch.

“It's a massive club. I remember coming to Goodison Park and it was always so difficult because of the fans and the great atmosphere that the people bring for Everton so I'm excited to be on the other side of that and a part of it, and to hopefully bring something they can cheer about as well.

“Everton expressed their interest right from the beginning and that was definitely valuable. You always want to be around good people and that's the impression I got here straight away."
