Everton signed three players from Barcelona during the summer transfer window. While Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne were signed permanently, Andre Gomes joined the Merseyside club on loan.
The former Valencia midfielder has told the Daily Star that former player Phil Neville and Digne convinced him that a move to Everton will be good for his career.
The 25-year-old enjoyed successful spells at Benfica and Valencia before moving to Barcelona in 2016. However, the Portugal international struggled at the Catalan club, and a move away from Camp Nou was always on the cards.
