Kjaer can't wait to play at Goodison Park, a ground he has hailed as "a true place of football".

He said: "I always enjoy playing against top class players like Eto'o, who I know quite well from games in the Serie A and with the Denmark national team, and Lukaku, who has a lot of quality.

"He is the same type of big, strong forward that I meet almost every week in France.

"I'm looking forward to playing at Goodison Park. It's a true place of football, and English football means a lot to me."
