- "Real Madrid have lots of foreign players on their team and of course they are all treated very well, just like I am being treated well as a foreigner living in England," he continued.
- "I believe that a team is like a family and whilst I do miss my friends and family, the fact that I`m very comfortable here, coupled with the fact that there are lots of other young players, helps me overcome the homesickness.
- "The football in England is a completely different to anything I have previously experienced, but it has been incredible. Stadiums are full to the brim and the fans are always singing, I think that is really impressive."
