He told club media: "I spoke to the coach Roberto De Zerbi, and he told me he has full confidence in me and what he thought about me.

“For me, that was a key factor.

"He was the main person who convinced me to come here with what he said, how he sees me as a player, and what I can improve upon. That was the key, I feel."
