Roberto Martinez was delighted with Everton's capture of Oumar Niasse late on deadline day.

The Senegalese striker has joined the Toffees from Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow on a three-and-a-half year deal for a fee of £13.5million which has Martinez in a buoyant mood.

"We're delighted because Oumar is a player we have been following for a long time," he told evertontv.

"He is the right personality and someone who is in a very good moment of his career. He has had a lot of success in Russia and he brings a different quality to what we already have in our squad.

"I'm really pleased to be able to bring in Oumar in this window. We moved a couple of players on and the freshness Oumar Niasse brings is going to be very positive going forward."
