Salut!

I have just signed for Everton until the end of this season.

As you all know, things have unfortunately not worked out for me the way I would have wished at Aston Villa, and I was due to leave in the summer. But Villa have agreed to release me now and I am delighted to say that I have signed for Walter Smith at Goodison Park.

This move feels like a new lease of life for me. I was in danger of going a bit stale in the reserves at Villa Park, but now I have the chance to play Premiership football again - which for me is the best league in the world.

I have signed in time to be eligible to face Arsenal on Sunday - so what a fantastic start that will be for me if Mr Smith includes me in his team plans. Also, as I have not played in the FA Cup this season for Villa, I am not cup-tied, and can hopefully help the Toffeemen continue their cup run.

I want the Everton fans to know that I shall give 100 per cent, and I hope to excite them as much as possible. The club's first priority is to guarantee their Premiership status this season and I shall do all I can to help. I also hope the prospect of Ginola and Gazza excites them as much as it does me!

Stay tuned for more news on my move - This is the place for David Ginola exclusives.

A bientôt,

David Ginola.
