I got persuaded.” He then nodded to his manager when asked who persuaded him to move.

“I just knew I wasn’t going to play as much as I wanted to. Even when I was going to England [camps] with younger age groups, you had players there who were playing in the league every week.

“And you’re looking around thinking, I can play in the league. When you’re not playing, it’s annoying.”

He added: “No – do you know what, I just wanted to go on loan… “I remember training on a Wednesday at City in the afternoon, and the news was ‘they’re trying to agree a fee.’

“Every time the ball went out I’d ask the kit man or the doctor if they’ve agreed the fee yet. “So I didn’t really get a chance to see many people and say I’m going. I just had to get my stuff.

“I messaged the group chat, said ‘Thanks and everything. I’m gone.’ That was it.”
