Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has heaped praise on the club’s three new signings after a 1-0 win at Spurs.

All three signings James Rodriguez, Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure started. And Ancelotti insisted he’s not concerned about Rodriguez’s physicality.

“The players that can play football, they don’t need a lot of time to adapt. James knows what he has to do, Allan and [Abdoulaye] Doucoure the same,” he said after the game.

“I just said show your quality and they did. We had a good combination in midfield. Last season we had players with quality on the ball but you also have to play without the ball.

“James is not the fastest player in the world but he has a lot of quality. We have to use him to show his quality. He is not a winger, but he can come inside and receive the ball, he is very dangerous.

“I am not worried about the physicality. If I was worried about that I would sign Usain Bolt, not James.”
