00:00 I've known him as well from... I played against him, funnily enough.
00:04 He's a player that I've always followed.
00:09 Like I said, in the end I know that a lot of people would have watched him three, four years ago
00:15 and think he's got the potential to go to the very top level.
00:18 But I feel that with us we want to give him another...
00:25 A change of scenery sometimes is not bad.
00:28 I'm not saying anything negative about what he's experienced before.
00:31 Just saying we hope we can kick-start that pathway towards that.
00:35 If not, in any event, he's going to be a good addition for us.
00:39 I think Sander Berg is a player with Premier League experience,
00:42 which is important for us in our team.
00:44 We don't have a lot at the moment.
00:47 But everyone knows, a player with size, I think technically good, able to receive the ball
00:54 either in the first phase in a build-up or in between the lines a little bit higher up.
00:59 So technically good, good physicality.
01:02 And a player who we hope we can bring to his full potential.
01:07 Those who have followed him for many years know that he's a player that has real potential
01:11 to access to the highest levels in the Premier League.
01:16 But he needs to prove it and hopefully this is a platform.
01:19 We're in a market where usually we compromise, right?
01:22 Unfortunately, you've got to compromise on something.
01:26 If you want height, speed, good on the ball, they'll play in the opposition team tomorrow.
01:32 It's a different price tag.
01:35 I think with Sander, the opportunity in terms of the profile is that he has the potential,
01:43 but it's time to show it.
01:45 With us, I think he's in an environment where we don't need him to be perfect yet.
01:51 We just need him to be willing to go to his best level and that's exciting for us.
01:56 for us.
