"At the time I have received several transfer invitations. I also have the opportunity to transfer and leave, but after discussing with the club, I decided to stay. Van Dyke and I stayed because our goal is to make Southampton's result another. Step. We sold some players at the time. Before we welcomed new investors, the team didn’t want to sell players anymore. That (referring to the 2016-17 season) was a difficult season, but thank God. ,We stayed in the Premier League. "

I like this, and I have proven my level. "

But you don't want to disappoint the fans. First of all, we must not let ourselves down. At the moment of the game, it became a kind of self-esteem. In the most difficult moments, you have to stand up for the team. "
" I have completely adapted to this feeling. This is my fifth season in Southampton. I respect the club, but I also want to think about my own future. After the season is over, I want to look for new challenges and think more about future development. But the most important thing now is to concentrate and do my best to help Southampton stay in the league. ”
