Bournemouth's January signing Kevin Schade has spoken about his first few months at the club.

The new forward has often taken risks with his career, such as leaving Preston at 12 to become a professional footballer.

Given his ambitious nature, Schade admits he was never going to say no to the Premier League club when they pursued him in January.

“Brentford wanted me," Schade told the club website of his switch from Freiburg.

“They really wanted me. It's a good step. It's a Premier League club who are doing really well at the moment.

“To go to somewhere like Liverpool is not good for me because I would not play.

“Fresh from an injury, I need time and games to be 100 per cent fit.

“I'm quick and Brentford's system is to play quick at the top, with deep runners and crosses from the outside. That's my game. And I can jump high as well. I think the style will fit my game.

“The coach, the staff, the team-mates - they are very friendly. It has given me a very good feeling and I have settled in fast."
