Speaking while featuring on the latest edition of ‘The Culture League podcast’, the 24-year-old admitted that he doesn’t like the Premier League.

Addressing why he didn’t move to the EPL despite being linked, he said, “I don’t really like the Premier League — not like if I have the opportunity to go, I won’t take it.

“But if I am going to make that move, it has to be to a certain type of team.

“Before I agree to a transfer or join a club, I always look at the type of football they play.

“Will it suit me? Is it a team with too much pressure? Because some players can’t perform well under pressure.

“So before I moved to Leverkusen, I had a great season in Belgium. There were offers from England, good money, but I just didn’t want to join that kind of team.”
