Everton trio are now Angry Bird characters

Gylfi Sigurdsson, Theo Walcott and Cenk Tosun

Three Everton players - Theo Walcott, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun - have become the first Premier League footballers to be turned into Angry Birds characters for a new mobile version of the popular video game.

The trio have been given traits to match what the game-makers believe are their distinctive features. Former England footballer Walcott is a yellow bird - the fastest characters in Angry Birds Evolution.

Iceland midfielder Sigurdsson will be a tough chap showing off Nordic heritage. And the bird of Turkey striker Tosun will display his cultural roots, plus natural finishing instincts - presumably, his goal-scoring ability.
