Manchester United loanee Donny van de Beek was introduced to Everton fans on Saturday but did not feature in their 4-1 win over Brentford in the FA Cup fourth round.
The Dutchman completed his move to Goodison Park on deadline day, putting pen to paper on a loan deal until the end of the season.
But he was forced to watch on from the stands in Frank Lampard's first match in charge as he is cup-tied in the FA Cup following his 19-minute cameo in the third-round win over Aston Villa.
The midfielder was paraded inside Everton's ground alongside fellow deadline day signing Dele Alli - who is also cup-tied following his involvement in Tottenham's win over Morecambe in the third round.
Posting the photos of his introduction on social media, Van de Beek added: "A wonderful first experience of Goodison Park and a great win from the team. See you next week!"
So, Van de Beek will be hoping to make his Goodison bow in a blue shirt when Leeds United visit next week in the Premier League but, before then, will be in line for the away trip to Newcastle on Tuesday.
