“If I play, I try to give my best for the team.”
“If you are good on the pitch, good in training, you will have your chance. I'm not worried about my place.”
“I try to be a leader on the pitch rather than off it.”
“There is always room for improvement, but I am happy with what I am doing on the pitch.”
“When I was young, I looked up to Andriy Shevchenko. He was so elegant, and on the pitch as well.”
“I feel really good at Arsenal.”
“Diego Costa doesn't show any emotion. I am more emotional. So I have learned to control my emotions.”
“I don't want to big myself up, but goals like mine leave a mark on history because they're rare.”
“Everybody gets criticised one day.”
“It was the force of the ball. It made my foot bone and ankle come together and cracked. I thought I had just twisted my ankle, but it was a clear fracture.”
“Second seasons are always better. In the first year, I felt a little bit of pressure. Maybe sometimes I didn't play naturally. I didn't feel relaxed on the pitch when I was ready to try something. It's complicated to explain.”
“It is really nice to play in the Champions League, because we play against the best teams and the best competition in Europe.”
“It's nice to be cheered, but I'll always have a good attitude on the pitch.”
“It's nice to be at the top, but the most difficult thing is to stay at the top.”
“The main thing is to work hard. When you work hard, you'll be in the team. It's as simple as that. And that's what I'm going to do, put my head down, work hard, and see where it takes me.”
“When I put my head in my hands after missing a chance, that annoys the coaches a little.”
“I think communication is massive in football and in all sports in general.”
“I have created a shell around me, in the good and the bad moments.”
“It's a massive club, and I am proud to sign for Chelsea, and I'm looking forward to playing.”
“I wanted to stay in the Premier League, and Chelsea was a great opportunity for me.”
