New loan signing Lacina Traoré has admitted he rejected West Ham in favour of a move to Goodison Park as he preferred Roberto MartÃnez´s style of play.
“It was quite close but Everton was my choice,” said the striker. “I looked at the styles of play of the two teams we are talking about and the way in which Everton play is more of a passing side and the style of Everton suited my technical ability.
“Also I looked at where they were in the league and they [Everton] were quite well off for points in the league so I think with that sort of emphasis on skill and the passing game I am hoping I can settle in as quickly as possible with my style of play.
“There were other clubs interested in me at the beginning but I knew Everton had a good possibility of getting into European football next season. I am pleased I have made this choice and I am standing by my choice of this club.”
