Everton's joint record signing Yannick Bolasie insists now is the time for a big-money move - because he never felt ready before.

The winger arrived at Goodison Park this week after the Toffees agreed a deal with Crystal Palace that could reach £30million.

Bolasie believes he is more equipped to do more damage at Everton rather than Palace and hopes to be involved at West Brom this weekend.

He also revealed life perhaps became too comfortable at Selhurst Park.

'I probably wouldn't have been ready last year. Hopefully I've got most of my mistakes out of the way there,' he said.

'I got used to things. It was a no brainer to come here. I knew the players and the quality which runs through the club. It's a tight-knit family group of supporters.

'I look at Ronald Koeman as one of the best in the Premier League. You'd like to think he could do what he did for Southampton here.

'I'm trying to settle in really quick. Once I get used to it I'll hit the ground running. I've been in and out of pre-season but I'm getting sharper and I feel good.'

Romelu Lukaku has been pestering Bolasie into deciding on a switch to Merseyside.

'I know Rom from ages ago - he's been talking to me for ages to come here,' Bolasie added.

'Competition is part of football. I've been grafting for ages now, it's nothing new.

'What I find is that I'll probably get the ball in better areas and cause more damage.

'When I think about the price tag it hasn't hit me. When someone says 25 or 28 I just think I'm here to play football. I come and enjoy the game.
