He told TNT Sports: "It's close, I'm really excited. I'll focus on that when the time comes, but I'm really excited for today and I just want to focus on that today."
On a potential flag display dedicated to him today: "It means a lot. I have a great relationship with the fans here because my style resonates with them. It's a working-class city and they want to see you give it your all.
"I'm proud of myself for doing that. I don't care where I play. The game is about moments, so it's about taking those moments when they come to me. Whether it's left, right or centre."
