“For me, the style of play I play, doing the gym and things like that, it's not really my style.”
“A loan wasn't always my first option, but when I heard the Bundesliga and Hoffenheim was an option for me and working with the manager there, it was something I wanted to do.”
“I always try to be positive but not expect too much of myself, just have a nice balance.”
“Being involved with the first team, be it in the Premier League or the Europa League, you just have to take it as it comes. You keep all the nerves inside and just play your normal game.”
“I'm liking the Bundesliga. There's a lot of top, top defenders that you come across.”
“Raheem Sterling is a role model to a lot of young lads coming through.”
“You can't beat playing for your country I don't think.”
“Unai's very positive and always telling you to express yourself, but also he's got that thing where he'll tell you if you do something wrong.”
“Once you're a young player and you're getting an opportunity to play, I think if you're good enough, it just gives you the confidence to go on.”
“In Heidelberg, in Hoffenheim, there's not much going on. I am so used to being around my London estate, so when I am here I am kind of lost in a different environment, a different area.”
“It's a different style the way the German players play. I think the English players like to play a lot of one and two touch and we can find each other in the pockets.”
“In Germany it's more physical. It's a lot of aggressive runs in behind and getting into the box.”
“I went away in Germany and I think I did well. But the main goal for me has always been playing in an Arsenal shirt week in, week out.”
“I was nine years old, I used to play for a team in Catford. I would get up every morning with my brother, get on the train and travel to Catford three times a week.”
“I need to just keep training hard and getting all the information from the coaches and the players.”
“When Thierry Henry was U19 coach at Arsenal he gave me a lot of advice. His main thing was staying grounded.”
“Adam Szalai and Kerem Demirbay always keep an eye on me and make sure I'm doing the right things.”
“I not only developed as a player in Germany but also as a person.”
“We would go to the football pitch near my estate and play until it was dark.”
“For me, it's just about playing - getting the game time you need to prove to everyone you can play at that high level.”
