West Brom signing Oliver Burke denies giving up at RB Leipzig

West Brom signing Oliver Burke denies giving up in Germany.

Albion's new £15m winger says lack of game-time at RB Leipzig convinced him to leave.

The Scot told Sky Sports: "I didn't chuck it over there, whatsoever. No chance! It was a very difficult team to get into. There was a different language as well, so having that bond with the coaches was very difficult as they don't speak much English.

"I learnt so much, it's a fantastic club and I don't regret it one bit. I think I've got better from being there, and I've still got a lot to learn.

"I really enjoyed my time there; I was actually, at the start of the season, really happy and enjoying my football. I had a great pre-season and I thought I'd be given an opportunity, but it didn't happen. I think then I knew it was time to push on and start playing more, especially at a young age."
