He is magnificent the way he thinks about football, he thinks very quickly and it’s so sweet how he touches the ball."He can play in different positions behind the striker. He doesn’t have the sharpness yet but his performance was very positive. "With Eric [Bailly] the way the fans showed how much they liked his performance when I changed him is enough. Of course he is a very young boy coming from a very different environment, but you could see what he is at this moment. "I will give him everything to try to make him better and better like I did with other central defenders I’ve had in my hands. He has showed the potential we saw when we decided to buy him."</blockquote>
