ROYSTON DRENTHE has told Everton fans he has the skills to succeed in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old winger moved on a season-long loan from Real Madrid yesterday, as Mikel Arteta left Goodison Park in a £10million deal to Arsenal.

Drenthe has found his opportunities limited under Jose Mourinho and was dispatched on loan last term to Hercules.

But the Dutchman feels he will be suited to the quicker game in England.

He said: "I think my qualities are English qualities, the way I play football.

"I have technique and like to work hard. I think this competition is a perfect competition for me.

"The Spanish league was a good league but different. It is not as fast, it is slow.

"Here it goes fast and I think that is more my style of play."
