Roberto Martinez says that he is "very excited" that Everton have managed to lure Samuel Eto'o to the club on a two-year deal.

Roberto Martinez has said that he is "very excited" by the arrival of Samuel Eto'o at Everton.

The Cameroonian forward has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the Toffees and will provide competition for the club's record signing, Romelu Lukaku.

The Everton boss told the club's official website that he was particularly impressed by the "hunger" and "desire" expressed by the veteran striker during talks between the two parties.

He said: "I met him and we had a very good chat about football in general and I was impressed about the hunger he still has.

"For someone who has achieved nearly everything, he still has the desire he had at 15 when he went to Spain and showed what he could do. For many reasons he has got a point to prove. 



"We are very excited and I think Everton is the perfect home for him. The fans will make him ready and feel sharp but we have got to be a bit patient with the fitness levels and make sure he is back to his best."

Eto'o is expected to go straight into the squad for Saturday's game against his former side Chelsea.
