I think it&#8217;s a really nice thing that we can play together again at a new club, at maybe a bigger club, and make the move together. I&#8217;m really looking forward to standing on the pitch with him again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;He was my neighbour in the changing room, he sat directly next to me and I had to speak English with him.
