Everton attacker Naismith starstruck by Eto'o

Everton attacker Steven Naismith admits it's been a special experience working with Samuel Eto'o.

Eto'o is so famous even his team-mates were a little bit starstruck when he first arrived at Goodison Park, says the Scot.

"I must say when he first signed and came into training, it was a bit 'That's Samuel Eto'o there!'

"He's won a fair few things in his career, it's surreal when you list them all. People questioned him after not playing as much at Chelsea last season but he still scored a fair amount of goals for the amount of game time he had.

"In the short time he has been here, he has shown his class. He knows how to play the lone striker role or how to play with a striker.

"He is a presence who knows when to wait for runners as you saw with his assist for Kevin Mirallas on Thursday night. He is a fantastic signing for us and a massive asset."
