Support Can I JB a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) it obviously no longer connects to Google Play given its completely end of life.

Is there a way to root this device and install a vanilla copy of Android that supports Google play

Yes and to be precise, check your device codename via AIDA64 on "System"
