Turk Backs The New Boy

The Turkish midfielder knows just how good a player the African is after their time together with Inter at the San Siro.

Emre said: ‘I played with him for three years at Inter Milan. He’s a nice boy and a really quick player and a very good player.

‘In the English Premier League, you need quick players. I think he will be a good signing.

‘He’s a young player. When he played at Inter Milan, he used to score every time, but Inter Milan have (had) too many good players like (Christian) Vieri, like Ronaldo, (Hernan) Crespo, and every time it changes.

‘For him and for us, it will be a big signing.’
