“I’m a versatile, attacking player. Good speed, strength, a creative player; I just like to make things happen on the pitch, scoring goals and getting assists.

Was pretty sure I'd read something very similar to that, in my head with a similar accent too...

Quoted Text

“I think the biggest thing for me is goals, that is what I am looking to do, but apart from that I am strong, I am fast, I like to get in behind so that is my first option, but I can also help hold up the ball, so that is a bit about me!"
