“Going back to the Emirates as a champion, as an invincible as well, it’s a great feeling, and it’s an amazing feeling,” he said prior to a pre-season friendly between the two teams.

“That was probably the first time in my life I’d ever been rejected from something in a sense. I was one step away from ultimately fulfilling my dream for the club I support. It was really hard for me at the time.”
