Everton have signed Enner Valencia on loan from West Ham United for the season.

Enner Valencia appears to be turning things around at Everton, after his initial poor start.

Valencia was heavily criticised by Everton fans during his initial appearances after signing on loan from West Ham United.

However, the rapid forward has begun to impress through his recent showings for Ronald Koeman’s side.

Valencia was favoured as a substitute to Ross Barkley, during Everton’s match against Manchester United.

And Koeman’s decision was vindicated, as Valencia added a spark to Everton’s attack following his introduction.

The Ecuadorian international was very lively, and he helped Everton claim a draw.

When Valencia was brought on, the Toffees were 1-0 down in the contest, but Leighton Baines’ penalty meant the points were shared.

There are now calls on Twitter to Valencia to start for Everton in their next match, which comes against Watford.

Everton’s draw with United has left them in eighth place in the Premier League table, and with just one win in their last 10 matches across all competitions.
