Schneiderlin says joining Everton was an easy decision

"I knew a lot of clubs were interested,"  " the Frenchman told Sky Sports. 

"I spoke with a lot of managers but when Everton came I knew I had a platform because I knew the staff and it's a big club, too.

"It was an easy decision," he asserted.

“You need to know what you want in life. Me, I want to play football and enjoy it.

"That's the most important thing, to play with a smile on my face and be able to play every weekend.

“I'm not the kind of player to sit on the bench and be happy."
