Davy Klaassen has joined Everton in the summer transfer window.
Klaassen has joined Premier League club Everton from Dutch giants Ajax in the summer transfer window.
According to BBC Sport, the Merseyside outfit had to pay the Eredivisie side a transfer fee of £23.6 million in order to secure the services of the attacking midfielder.
Klaassen has arrived at Goodison Park with a strong reputation, having established himself as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Netherlands.
During the 2016-17 season, the Netherlands international scored 14 goals and provided nine assists in 33 Eredivisie appearances for Ajax, according to WhoScored.
The 24-year-old scored two goals and provided one assist in 13 Europa League games for the Amsterdam outfit, according to WhoScored.
Former Arsenal midfielder Clarke, who now works as a pundit for talkSPORT, has backed Klaassen to be popular among the Goodison Park faithful.
“The Premier League will be a big step up for Klaassen, so success is not guaranteed,” Clarke wrote about Klaassen on PremierLeague.com. “But his intelligence and endeavour should make him a popular figure on Merseyside.
“His key strength, though, is goals. In this post-Lukaku era, the Toffees will need him to hit the ground running.”
Everton will be aiming to finish in the top six of the Premier League during the 2017-18 campaign.
