"Everybody calls him 'boss', from the kit manager to the owner of the club. He seems distant, but he's always available to talk. It's impressive.

"Cech is a great goalkeeper, he has a lot of stories, he's in the top 10 in the world. We get along, he also says I'm the future of the club.

"Also Ospina, he's such a professional. He's a great guy and friend. I usually have dinner at his house, and I learn a lot from him.

"It's an honour that the coach gives me the possibility to be the goalkeeper in a tournament [the EFL Cup], when he has those two."
