The Full Interview:
How do you rate the start of the season for you?
It’s good to get started in a right way. We have won some games, drawn some and lost some. But we’re not where we want to be, but we’re getting closer by every game.

As a striker, the goal is to score as many goals as possible in every game and I am very much around very good players who are helping me with the passes. Most of my goals are from good passes from my teammates.
This is a long season and I am not focused on the goals race. I am only focused on the games.
How have you adjusted to life at Montpellier?
Yes, I was not involved in pre-season. I only came in a week to the kick-off of the league season. But I have now been here for three months, I enjoy a great chemistry, the guys have been great and everyone is helping me to settle in.
People have to trust you, so that they could depend on you more and more. Honestly, so far, so good.
I will not get the pass on every run, but we have brilliant players (Teji (Savanier), Mousa (Tamari), Joris (Chotard), Jordan (Ferri), Whabi (Khazri). It has been good, I can’t complain even though I should get more passes.
I am happy where I am, it’s a good place for me to grow as a young player. I have everything that I need here, so I am happy with my decision to come here. I have a very group around me, I am satisfied.
