It’s in my heart.” “I will probably cry, I bet, when I first play, and it means so much. All the people that made it happen, I can’t thank them enough. Honestly, I’m so pleased.”
He also said: “I was seriously lost for words when Southampton came on the table, and for me, it was such an easy decision.” “To get the chance to work with the manager as well and these young players that are coming through, I feel like I’ve made the right choice.”
