Weir convinced Everton signing Jelavic Premier League class
Former Rangers defender David Weir is backing Nikica Jelavic to be a big success at Everton.
The 41-year-old central defender believes Jelavic is the kind of all-round striker who will prove a hit in the Premier League.
"He is a very good player. He has got a bit of everything to be honest. He can hold it up, he can link up, he will score goals in the six yard box but he can score spectacular goals as well. He has got a little bit of everything in my opinion. There is not one attribute that stands out but he can score a header, he can score a free-kick, he can score a tap-in – he has got a lot of things in his locker."He told evertonfc.com: "He will do very well. He's a top player who is obviously a Croatian international and he is on his way up in his career. He went from Austria to Scotland and did well in both places. This is another chance for him and I think he will fit in fine.
