'I am ready to be a goalkeeper' - Fiorentina's Kouame



The Ivorian forward is eager to get back to the pitch after a prolonged spell on the sidelines
Christian Kouame has joked that he is ready to play as a goalkeeper for Fiorentina if need be in a bid to get back in action.
The 22-year old Ivorian who is loan from Genoa, has been out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury since November while with his parent club.
The result of that injury meant he is yet to feature for the Viola since January when his loan deal was sealed.
"To play, I am ready to be a goalkeeper. In today's football, you have to adapt to everything," he told Corriere Fiorentino as per TuttoMercato.
"If I had not been injured I would have gone to the Crystal Palace, but I have no regrets, fate wanted it and then my family would support Fiorentina.
"I dream of being able to play in the Champions League with this shirt and in the future to win some trophies and play at the World Cup."
Kouame claims that he has recovered from his injury, but has been let down by the lack of Serie A action which has been on hold for over a month because of the coronavirus pandemic.
