Speakibg after picking up his award, he was asked which position he prefers.
“Attacking central midfielder because with my engine, I can get forward and back.
“When you play wide sometimes, you have to be disciplined and wait for the ball to come to you and hold your shape for the team, whereas in the middle, if things aren’t going the way of the team, you can get involved and take the game by the scruff of the neck.
“In the middle you get more involved in the game and can change the game.”
