"He understands faster than the others everything about the game; he loves the game. He loves to learn, and he is a player with big skills, big technique.

"He is a player who, under pressure, finds it is not easy to steal the ball off him and who discovers the space so easily. He is young, he has a big talent.

"I believe with the right coach, with the right project, with the right game for him, he can have the possibility to have a big step in his career."
