“It’s going to be so good for the club to be in the new stadium but the history of Goodison is special, especially for the fans who have been here for so many years. I think the new stadium will allow us to be on the best level and a bigger one for more fans to come – it looks amazing, but I’m very happy that I get to start at Goodison because I want to have this feeling of the history, what it means to the fans and enjoy that environment.
In terms of incomings, that is harder. I would quite like another wide player, but I'm not sure that is a necessity now. Everton have Harrison, McNeil and Lindstrom, while there is a belief at the club that Ndiaye can also play out wide. So while another signing would be great, other areas could do with more attention.
“I’m a fast player with a good technique and a good shot, so I think I can add speed on the counter-attacks and I can play in several positions – as a number 10, as a winger. I will give my best. I like to score goals, provide assists and create chances. I hope I can do that here – I know I can do that here. I know how the team plays and I have some very good teammates. I am ready to give everything.
“I’ve spoken to the manager. It sounds as though he likes the way I play football and I can be a good fit for the team with my speed, so now I want to deliver. I know he trusts me and that’s another reason I’m here – because I need that trust from the coach and I need trust from my teammates. I’m ready to show them I can help.
"Interest in Lindstrom was stepped up as a result and the club is now hopeful talks will result in a deal in the coming days. Lindstrom only signed for Napoli last summer but has been made available following a difficult debut season in Serie A. The Denmark international did not record a league goal or assist, but his opportunities were severely limited as Napoli put up a disastrous title defence.
