Brennan Johnson says David Moyes played a "massive" part in him joining Everton as he showed he "believes" in him and his capabilities.
The forward joins from Crystal Palace in a deal that sees Dwight McNeil move to Selhurst Park.
Johnson is Moyes' fifth signing of the summer and has signed a four-year deal.
"I'm so excited to be here," said Johnson. "The club speaks for itself – it's a massive club and one that when I first heard of the interest, I immediately wanted to come and be part of it.
"There were a lot of reasons why I was so keen to join – the manager, the players, the direction the team is going in. You can see this is a club that wants to go in the right direction, and I'm a player who wants to go in that direction, too, so it feels like a really good match.
"I want to come in and show what I can do. The manager spoke to me about getting back to the form that I've shown previously, and that's a massive thing for me – the fact he knows and believes in what I can do.
"For me, listening to him – a manager who is so experienced and someone who has been so successful – it was really nice to hear.
"I want to bring all of my attributes. First and foremost, I'll work for the team, the fans, and represent the club properly. I know that's something that's definitely appreciated and a non-negotiable here. They can expect that from me.
"On top of that, I think I can bring speed, goals and everything I've got.
"The incredible fanbase that Everton has, whether it's home or away, is something I've always felt. It's a massive honour to be here and play for them now."
