“I was happy when he eventually picked Germany as his next destination, and it is a place where he will definitely grow and become a better player. Tricky players like him are not many in Germany, so I am sure he will be in the news for good reasons very soon.

“I went back to check a compilation of his videos, and it further impressed me with his technique. I was a winger myself, so this actually makes me happy. I am glad he is going to Germany. The Bundesliga is very strong, but I believe he will fit in well at the club.

“Hamburg have a good player in their hands, and I hope they give him playing time and help him bring out the best in him.”
