Leon Osman believes Morgan Schneiderlin will make a quick impact following the midfielder’s move to Goodison Park.
The France international joined the Blues from Manchester United on Thursday, penning a four-and-a-half year deal with the club.
Former Toffees midfielder Osman has faced Schneiderlin on a number of occasions when playing Southampton and United and has seen first-hand the ability he will add to Ronald Koeman’s squad.
Schneiderlin’s move sees him reunited with Koeman, whom he worked for a season at St Mary’s.
Osman points to this familiarity as a crucial factor in allowing the Frenchman to settle into his new surroundings.
