The 33-year-old striker was released by Chelsea at the end of last
season and had been linked with Everton's Merseyside rivals Liverpool
before they sealed a surprise deal for Mario Balotelli.
Toffees boss Roberto Martinez then stepped in to add the Cameroon
international to a forward line that is led by another Stamford Bridge
recruit in Romelu Lukaku.
The former Barcelona player scored 12 goals for Chelsea last season,
including a hat-trick against Manchester United, but saw his
relationship with Jose Mourinho placed in the spotlight when the
Portuguese questioned his age in leaked footage from a French television
interview.
He could now make his Everton debut against Mourinho and his former
team-mates, with the sides due to meet at Goodison Park on Saturday.
On Everton’s official website, coach Roberto Martinez said;
“I met him and we had a very good chat about football in general and I was impressed about the hunger he still has.
For someone who has achieved nearly everything, he still has the
desire he had at 15 when he went to Spain and showed what he could do.
For many reasons he has got a point to prove.
We are very excited and I think Everton is the perfect home for him.
The fans will make him ready and feel sharp but we have got to be a bit
patient with the fitness levels and make sure he is back to his best.”
