“At Sevilla there are a lot of top players. If I want to play for Sevilla I have to work against the competition, otherwise I will always have to be from one place to another.
“My representative helped me a lot when it came to leaving Seville. He convinced me to leave, to have minutes in La Liga and that is what has come the best for me.
“Comparisons with Neymar? He is one of my favourite players. I find it very crazy to be compared to Neymar.”
