They both have a lot of ambition and that’s the type of guy I am so it matches. The manager was one of the big reasons. He played at the highest level, won many things and was a midfielder. It means a lot to have interest from him and he can teach me many things.” The midfielder came through the youth ranks of Anderlecht, RWS Bruxelles and Zulte Waregem before joining German outfits Hoffenheim and Hamburg.
