It almost seems like scoring in a friendly against BVB helps you end up signing with BVB. Crazy coincidence, isn't it?"I was definitely happy about the goal. But now I'm glad to be here. It feels great."
What was it like to make the move on the very last day of the transfer window?"It's definitely hectic. A lot goes on behind the scenes. But you just have to keep your eyes on the goal. And keep your fingers crossed. We pulled it off. And now I'm here."
Exactly. It worked out in the end."Right. As soon as I heard about BVB's interest and we had a meeting, everything moved very quickly. Within just a few hours, there were advanced talks going on behind the scenes. So, as soon as I found out they were interested, I was ready to make the move."
Did you have any contact with your U21 national team teammate Jobe Bellingham?"I've spoken with Jobe over the last few days. He asked, 'What's going on with you?' And I told him I couldn't say for sure yet either. But we talked a lot. And he kept saying the whole time that I should come to BVB. I'm glad we'll be playing side by side now."
You're only 19 years old and have just come off a stint in France. Do you find it hard or easy to go abroad?"I think it's much easier now. The first time, you're really leaving your comfort zone. It's just uncharted territory. But now I'm more relaxed, more open, and mentally better prepared. I know what to expect by now."
