He said: “I watched many games of him as a kid.
“He was also like the way I play as a midfielder — to go in the box, score goals and make assists.
“I loved him as a player. I was dreaming as a kid to play in the Premier League and for Chelsea as well.
“I’ve always dreamed of playing in a league like that and that dream came true very early.”

He added: ”Of course it’s a big price tag but I think in football today it is normal to pay these prices.
“So for me I will not put a lot of pressure on myself because I think I'm not doing the worst things in the past - that's why the price tag was high."
