He is, however, enjoying his time in France and has thanked former teammate Alexander Lacazette for his encouragement. He stated in an interview with Amazon Prime Video Sport:

“He’s a great player. When he was at Arsenal he would always help me progress and improve, teaching me techniques and giving me advice.

“I remember speaking to Lacazette and he kept on telling me: you need to go to Ligue 1, you will do well here. Maybe he should become my agent as well because he has a great knowledge of football!”
