by the black arrow select the circle and the image that you have just pasted over the old one. and make a clipping mask by going to
object>clipping mask>make
or press[CTRL+7]
now we are ready to make the effect to the circle which appear exactly on the old image spot. be careful not to move it. go to
effect>blur>Gaussian blur
and set a desire value preferable to be between 3 to 7after doing the effect group the circle with the old placed image by selecting them both and press
