Everton have confirmed the signing of Jermaine Beckford on a four-year deal.
The 26-year-old striker, who scored 85 goals in 152 appearances for Leeds, had long been linked with a move to Goodison Park after he refused to sign a new deal to keep him at Elland Road.
Of his move, Beckford said: “I am excited by it. It’s going to be a test, I know that, but I am looking forward to it.
“I want to test myself at the highest level and luckily for me, David Moyes showed an interest in me, showed some faith in me and hopefully I can repay that.
“I’ve been impressed a lot by him. He seems like the type of guy who will sit down and tell you where you’re going wrong, what you’re doing right and what you might need to work on.
“It is a club I can learn from and it can help me develop into a better player. Fingers crossed, I can be really involved in taking this club where it wants to be.”
