Sandro is one of several new faces at Everton this summer.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has offered an insight into new Everton signing Sandro Ramirez.
Everton confirmed Sandro’s £5.2 million move from Malaga earlier this week – despite reports of interest from other Premier League and European clubs.
The Spaniard, who began his career at Barcelona, scored 16 goals in 31 games last season, but is unlikely to be the only new striker arriving at Goodison Park this summer.

Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud and Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney have both been strongly linked with Ronald Koeman’s team, and funnily enough Balague believes there are several similarities between Sandro and Rooney.
“Sandro reminds me of young Rooney Variety of finishing, works hard off ball, better movement than WR,” he posted on Twitter.
But the new Toffees recruit is not completely flawless it seems, with Balague adding: “One ‘but’: he needs to feel important”.
Everton have been busy in the transfer market, bringing in Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen and Michael Keane as well as Sandro.
However, they could be about to lose top scorer Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, with the BBC reporting that a £75 million offer has been accepted by Everton, although according to The Liverpool Echo, no agreement has been reached as yet.
