ILIMAN NDIAYE revealed Senegal team-mate Idrissa Gana Gueye played a part in luring him to Goodison Park.
Everton confirmed the signing of the Marseille forward after completing a £15m move for him.
Ndiaye, 24, has signed a five-year contract with the Blues as boss Sean Dyche and director of football Kevin bolster their attacking Thelwell options.
But Gueye also helped bring Ndiaye to the club.
Ndiaye said: "I am so pleased to be an Everton player.
"The main reasons I wanted to join were how big the club is, its history and the part I can play in helping the team in the forward direction it is going in.
