“I really admire Zinedine Zidane and Frank Lampard. They are really skilful, and I like the way they shoot from distance.”

“I'd like to put on record my sincere thanks to everyone at Wigan Athletic for the tremendous support they showed me during my time there.”

“I'd like to thank the chairman, Dave Whelan, and all of the staff at Wigan for giving me the chance to play in the Premier League.”

“When I started going to school, I started getting used to things, like the language. After that, I started adapting to school, friends, and everything. It was really difficult, to start with, but I survived.”

“There was only a little spell at Wigan, when I first signed there, when I wasn't in the team every week.”

“My footballing idol is Zinedine Zidane; he was an amazing guy on and off the field.”

“I started playing for a team called Cosmos in the Tandridge League before I went for a two-week trial with Palace. They must have liked what they saw.”

“I just want to enjoy my football.”

“It's a massive thing to win the African Nations. It will go down in history. It was my first tournament with Nigeria, and winning it was a bonus for me; it was a good experience for me.”

“When I play against a winger, because I'm a winger myself, I understand what they are going to do before they try and go past me, so it makes it a lot easier for me.”

“As long as I'm helping the team, I just want to play football.”

“I want the fans to be able to recognise I am doing something good for the club, but at the same time, I want to work hard for the team and make sure we win games.”

“In football, you have to learn from everything, but everyone makes mistakes.”

“I want to play in every match, score goals when the opportunity presents itself, and help players in good positions to also score goals.”

“As long as you work hard, the manager will see it, and he'll give you an opportunity.”

“As long as I can help the team achieve its objective, then I am happy playing anywhere upfront.”

“As a footballer, if you work hard, then everything else falls into place.”

“I played for England Under-16s, 17s, 18s, 19s, 20s and then 21s... then... I just decided to make the decision to play for Nigeria.”

“To me, I would say that Cesar is underrated. As a defender, he has got everything. He's quick; he's got that desire, passion for the game. He just wants to play football. Azpilicueta is never tired. He can run all night in every minute. He wants to play every game.”

“I can play on the right, from the left, behind the main striker, or upfront - it depends on where the coach wants me to play.”
