“Premier League transfer? No... I don't really like the Premier League. I prefer Spanish or German football,” he told Sporty TV.

He further distanced himself from the allure of English football by claiming he doesn't have much interest in the German language but prefers to learn Spanish.

“Yeah, we speak English, but some of my teammates, like Nathan (Tella), attends German classes, but I don’t really have the time. The language is very difficult, but I wish him all the best. No worries, when it’s time to translate, he’ll help me.

“If it’s Spanish, I want to learn Spanish, but German? Not so much. I’d love to play in Spain someday.
