Eto'o, who has won 118 caps and scored a record 56 goals for Cameroon, signed a two-year deal at Goodison Park.
"I have been very impressed by the style of play Everton adopt," Eto'o told the club's website, having been lured by manager Roberto Martinez's footballing philosophy.
"I was impressed with his enthusiasm but also by the knowledge of football that Roberto Martinez carries, his vision of football ..."
