I’m really happy that it finally worked out and we could just do it. ‘It’s very exceptional because in our situation, a lot of people around us talk constantly – “What are you doing?” – bam, bam, bam. Then preparing something like this, working on all different things you have to work in a transfer like this.”

“With thinking about a player like him already is a joy, to be honest, because it gives us obviously some options. ‘Then you get in contact with the boy and then you realise, OK, he obviously likes this project as well pretty much, even before he is here, which was really nice. I learned more and more about him as a person; the player I knew before, the person I learned. ‘So I’m really happy to bring this wonderful person in as an add-on to the squad, which is just good for football reasons – but for all the other reasons as well.
