New Everton signing Muhamed Besic has claimed that the chance to work under Roberto Martinez was the reason why he joined the club.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina midfielder, 21, left Ferencvaros on Monday to sign a five-year deal with the Toffees.

Besic is now looking forward to starting his career at Goodison Park under the guidance of Martinez.

"The most important reason why I signed for Everton was Roberto Martinez – I think he is a fantastic coach," Besic told the club's official website.

"I know Everton is a really traditional club and the supporters are fantastic here. I think it is the biggest step for me after leaving Hungary.

"I think my style is suited to playing in the Premier League and I think this is the best league in the world. It will be difficult for me because we have fantastic players, but I think with the help of the coach, I will do my best."

Besic featured in all three group matches for Bosnia-Herzegovina at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
