Andros Townsend is confident Salomon Rondon will prove a big signing at Everton.
The winger believes the acquisition of Venezuela's all-time top scorer was a smart move and reckons Rondon will be a real handful for the opposition.
He told the Liverpool Echo: “I've played against him many times and he's a very physical player, very strong, likes the physical side of it, likes to get into confrontation with defenders and he can hold up the ball well so that will be a great addition to the squad.
“Whether it be playing with Dom upfront or coming off the bench, however the manager sees it, he's definitely going to be a plus for a player like myself who does like to cross into the box."
Everton have a number of towering frontmen on the training field this season though Duncan Ferguson is a coach these days.
Speaking to Townsend, we wonder whether Big Dunc has also offered tips on the perfect ball into the box?
“He's more explaining the way the club works," reveals Townsend. “He's obviously a legend, has been at the club many, many years and he's telling me what they like, what they don't like and how to impress the home support.
“It's great to have people like Dunc and Seamus telling you what the fans appreciate so you know and you can try and have a successful spell."
