Toronto Raptors star Patrick Patterson has revealed his love for Premier League giants Manchester City.
Patterson arrived in London along with his Raptors teammates on Monday ahead of Thursday's NBA Global Games clash against Orlando Magic.
Upon his arrival, power forward Patterson has revealed that he is a huge fan of City and is hopeful of catching the Citizens in action during his time in the United Kingdom.
Patterson told the Daily Mail: "I started supporting them in 2007. I got the chance to meet them this summer when they were in Toronto.
"It was surreal. I felt like a little kid meeting Santa Claus when I got the chance to meet them, it was unreal. I was in awe.
"It was a great moment meeting Sergio Aguero, I had no idea how short he was! I met Yaya (Toure) too. I had no idea how tall some of those guys were Vincent Kompany, Joe Hart, I really didn't know how tall they were.
"As soon as I found out about that I told the guys, because I've seen other NBA teams going to some type of match, I've seen their pictures inside the stadiums and with the jerseys.
"So I've been talking to the staff trying to figure out a match we can go to see. If all of us can't go, I know at least I want to go meet the guys and exchange uniforms and just be at the match over there."
