“Those top clubs have so many scouts and follow so many players, so it doesn’t have to mean anything yet. It will only become clear in the summer whether anything will come of it. But of course, it is only positive.

“Especially because it is about the best competition in the world and my profile – my stature and way of playing – is suitable for English football. You have to physically hold your own there and that suits me.

“I do follow the teams that follow me a bit, but it’s not like I’m watching full matches. Summaries are enough.”
