He said: ‘I have not had a chance to speak to him, not yet. I spoke to some of my friends from Paris about him a little bit. I speak about him a little bit with some of the players. They told me that he’s a very good coach and I’m excited to work with him.’
Adapting to the Premier League and England
Though the PSG academy graduate admits he is unfamiliar with the Premier League and England, he believes he can adapt quickly and may well be helped by two fellow France internationals. He added: ‘It was not an easy decision to leave Paris, because obviously I had everything in my life there, but I had the support of my family and my friends also. And yeah, for sure it will help me now. I think now I can adapt also quickly and I hope I will do everything to be ready quickly and this experience before in Germany will help me for the future here.’
