Jo desperate to stay at Everton

The 22-year-old joined Everton on loan in January, but is now keen on staying at Goodison Park rather than returning to Manchester City.

Jo told The Daily Mail: “I feel more comfortable at Everton because they have given me a chance to settle into my surroundings.

“I joined City without doing a real pre-season because I had to go to the Olympics and when I got there the Premier League season had already started.

“There was no chance to get into the team. I don’t feel the chapter is closed with City and if I return at the end of the season I’ll do my best.

“Otherwise, I hope to stay with Everton. The way things are I really like Everton. I like the atmosphere and the culture. But if I have to go back I will try to fit in.”
