00:00 I think I can break it now, he will start tomorrow.

00:03 He will also lead the team out of the tunnel, he will be the captain.

00:09 He's a special character in many ways.

00:18 He's a fantastic person to be around.

00:21 I think, I can speak for myself, staff, players, that the energy he brings,

00:28 the smile, the positivity, every day at the training ground, is a massive thing.

00:35 And then on the pitch, he drags people, he wants to win.

00:41 As I said before, it's like a new signing.

00:44 I think there is an argument, of course everyone needs to prove themselves again,

00:48 but there is an argument that he's maybe the second best striker in the Premier League right now.

00:52 Last year I think he was the third, after Kane and Holland.

00:59 Now he's the second, in my opinion.

01:01 It's 99 point something that he will stay here.

01:06 Football is crazy, so you never know what's going to happen tomorrow.

01:11 He's very committed to be here, he's very committed to help the team.

01:15 I spoke with him yesterday about it, that's the only thing on his mind.

01:20 We just have that point zero something number of craziness in football that you can't rule out.

01:26 He wants to stay here, he wants to help the team, we want to keep him.
