Merlin Rohl confirms his ambition to stay at right-back for Everton, welcome competition from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, and recover for Hull City.
Everton player Merlin Rohl has declared his desire to keep competing for the right-back spot following the deadline-day arrival of Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The 24-year-old, who previously developed as a midfielder at Freiburg, started the opening three Premier League fixtures for manager David Moyes after playing significant minutes at full-back during pre-season.
Rohl revealed he is actively studying film of himself and other right-backs to master the defensive role. Although an injury interrupted his run following a 2-2 draw against Manchester United, Rohl intends to continue challenging for the position once he returns to full fitness.
