Jean-Philippe Gbamin: I am ready to play any role for Everton

Everton new recruit Jean-Philippe Gbamin has stated his willingness to play in any role for the Toffees.

The midfielder joined the Goodison Park outfit last week on a five-year deal from German Bundesliga side Mainz for a fee of £25 million.

Having played majorly in a midfield role for the 05ers, where he made 86 league appearances before his departure, the Ivorian is willing to make a sacrifice for the Toffees in order to help them achieve success.

"I’ve come here to play in the midfield, as a defensive midfielder if you like but if the manager wants me to do so I can play in a number of positions,” he told the media.
