“I think they’ve made a load of signings by normally it backfires when teams do that, but obviously they’re doing alright and drew Man City last weekend so whatever their philosophy is, it’s working out for them.
“Jesse Lingard, André Ayew and Cheikhou Kouyaté are there.
“I love Cheikhou, he is a great character, and to be fair, I hung around with André quite a bit and we went to France together one weekend, just to have some nice food and a night out in Paris. That was nice, to experience a new place.
“André’s character is a bit like Marko Arnautović’s. Because he’s very confident in himself, people might take it as arrogance, but actually he’s a really nice guy.
“And then obviously, Jesse is an actual legend. I saw him recently at a concert and really get along with him as well, but when you’re an easy-going person, everyone likes you!”
