Barcelona legend wishes Everton defender good luck

Barcelona legend Carles Puyol has wished Everton defender Yerry Mina ‘good luck’ in his career as a Premier League player.

Colombian Mina left Barcelona to join Everton in a ยฃ27m deal last summer, having failed to establish himself as a first choice at the Nou Camp.

The 24-year-old arrived in Spain from Brazilian side Palmeiras in January 2018, but made just five league appearances across a six month spell at the club before leaving for Goodison Park and the Premier League.

Former Barcelona captain Puyol, who won six league titles and three Champions Leagues during a 15 year career at the club, has defended Mina saying it ‘isn’t easy’ to succeed at the Spanish champions.

โ€œSucceeding at Barcelona isn’t easy,โ€ Puyol told Marca.

โ€œIt’s not easy to go there and adapt. You have to have time and you have players like [Gerard] Pique and [Samuel] Umtiti in front of you. I wish Mina good luck. Things like that happen and it’s not always easy.โ€
