David Moyes has said that he will ease new signing Nikica Jelavic into Premier League life.
The striker came on in the last half-hour of Everton's 1-1 draw with Wigan this weekend after signing for £5m from Rangers last week.
"He is one for the long-term and I will bring him in gradually," Moyes said.
"He will score goals but adds other things to the team, like bringing other players into the game.
"He is a proven international centre-forward and raises the level."
Jelavic scored 36 goals in 55 games in the SPL.
