Former Lille midfielder Amadou Onana is delighted with his first months at Everton.

Several factors influenced the midfielder's decision to commit his long-term future to L4, after being tracked by a host of top European clubs this summer, but, by listening to his intuition, he insists the choice became "easy".

"Everton's reputation as a big club and one that cares was an important point," he told evertonfc.com. "Everything just felt right here.

"It's hard to explain but I'm a guy who works with his feelings and I base decisions on that.

"The way people were talking to me, the way the manager was talking to me... Everything just felt 'home' straight away.

"I also watched the game at Goodison against Crystal Palace last season and it was just amazing. I wasn't even there live and I had goosebumps watching the celebrations.

"That made me sit up and really see the passion these fans have for the Club. They don't let players down.

"These were reasons why I chose Everton."
