Quotes

“I want to score more goals; the main ambition is goals.”

“Of course I am happy to play in any of the attacking roles, but for me, where I can score the most goals is down the middle.”

“For me, sometimes it’s more important to perform well in training and know that I am improving rather than scoring in a game. It’s doing the hard work, day in, day out.”

“I learn something new every game. Every game is always different, no matter how you try and think about it beforehand.”

“It’s not just about showing people what you can do on the ball in those wider positions, it’s about gaining the full understanding of each position and what it takes to get that spot.”

“Thierry Henry is one of my heroes; he is one of the players I watched when I was younger. When I was 17, I changed position to be a forward, and he, along with the Brazilian Ronaldo, were the two players I tried to mirror my performance on, so I would watch how they scored goals.”
