Everton completes signing of Bosnian midfielder Muhamed Besic

After much speculation, Everton has completed the signing of Bosnian midfielder Muhamed Besic.

The fee is reportedly in the region of £4 million.

Manager Roberto Martinez was full of praise for the 21-year-old, who played every minute for Bosnia at the World Cup in Brazil.

Speaking with the club's official website, Besic - who joins the Toffees from Hungarian side Ferencvaros - outlined his excitement over playing in what he describes as the top league in the world.

“I think my style is suited to playing in the Premier League and I think this is the best league in the world,” he said.

“I can play anywhere [in defence or midfield], but I think I will play as a central midfielder for Everton. I enjoy playing in midfield because I get to see a lot of the ball and I think it is my best position.”

The five-year contract ties the Bosnian to Everton until the summer of 2019.
