"Before I left Portsmouth I looked at Middlesbrough and saw they had ambition, but I don't think the ambition is there any more," he said.



"With no disrespect to the players, Middlesbrough are not that ambitious and that is why I had to leave.



"Before the end of last season I had made up my mind to leave. It was a blow to lose Mark Viduka, because he was a great player who I enjoyed playing with.



"I wanted to move to a club which had ambition and at the moment Everton have ambition.



"They are fighting for trophies and they want to finish in the top six and play in Europe."
