Kuyt 'convinced Heitinga to join Toffees'

Everton new boy John Heitinga asked Liverpool’s Dirk Kuyt for advice over whether he should move to Goodison Park from Atletico Madrid.

Heitinga sought Holland team-mate Kuyt’s opinion on the £6.2m move and was told Everton was a “big club” and that he should not think twice about moving to Merseyside.
