He was somewhat upset since he couldn't say whether he needed to acknowledge that in January, however he comprehended he could follow through with the task in Lille. It's never simple to show up at a club in January. To adjust is rarely great. He went with a decent decision to pause. Presently I figure it will be OK for him. He merits it.
It's a good choice for him because he will discover the Premier League. He has all the qualities to perform in the Premier League - I have no doubt about that. He's not a star at the moment but people and other players will discover him. You can't be wrong if you made a choice to recruit Sven Botman."
