Leeds vs Burnley: What has been said?
New signing Ramanzi has told his manager he'll happily play anywhere across the front line.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, he said: “I mean, I can play anywhere. Up front, anywhere. I’m comfortable anywhere. You see that, I’m a winger, that’s where I’m most comfortable but I can also play behind the striker, or as a false nine."
Meanwhile, the new signing also revealed he loved his first experience at Elland Road.
He said: "I got goosebumps when we scored the first goal [against Hull].
"Then Mateo [Joseph] scored and I was like, 'This is crazy'.
"I was just imagining coming on and scoring. It didn't happen, but it was a great feeling. It was just so loud."
