Bernard has completed his move to Everton, arriving on a lucrative free transfer and signing a four year contract. Says Marco Silva was influential in his decision to move to Goodison Park. “I chose Everton because of all the things I had heard about Marco Silva and after speaking to him I was happy with what he said to me,” said the Brazil international.
“The manager made me feel confident about playing here. He is a very good coach and he has achieved really good things at other clubs. Everton is a club with a great structure and a lot of tradition, historically the fourth most successful club in England. When I found out about this opportunity and what the manager wanted out of me I was happy. That is why I made my choice, because of the confidence both the manager and the club showed in me.”
