​Mirallas backs Sandro to succeed with Everton after Genk display

Kevin Mirallas believes that new arrival Sandro Ramirez will be a success at Goodison Park.

Everton have splashed a lot of cash to sign new players this summer but landing Sandro Ramirez from Malaga for just £5million has to be considered a major bargain for the Toffees.

Ramirez made his debut for Everton during their 1-1 pre-season draw against RKC Genk on Saturday and following the game, an impressed Kevin Mirallas has backed the young Spaniard to be a hit at Goodison Park during the upcoming campaign.

"Sandro has come in this week and probably needs some more minutes but you can see his quality already," he told evertontv. "He laid on a good assist for Wayne. I hope after one or two more weeks of training he will be ready.

"I have been helping him because out of the squad, only myself and Joel Robles speak Spanish. It is not easy for Sandro because it is the first time he has played away from Spain and he has come here and he doesn't know anyone.

"But I will help him as much as I can because he is a good lad and a good player."
