Beckford was allowed to join the Toffees after Leeds United ripped up the striker’s contract early.
He said: “I am excited by it. It’s going to be a test, I know that, but I am looking forward to it.
“I want to test myself at the highest level and luckily for me, David Moyes showed an interest in me, showed some faith in me and hopefully I can repay that.
“I’ve been impressed a lot by him. He seems like the type of guy who will sit down and tell you where you’re going wrong, what you’re doing right and what you might need to work on.
“It is a club I can learn from and it can help me develop into a better player. Fingers crossed, I can be really involved in taking this club where it wants to be.”
The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract with Everton.
