"Now everything depends on me, I have to accept the challenge. In one year, I went from the fifth French league to the second, received an invitation to the French youth team, and now I'm moving to Chelsea. It's like a dream."
"I wanted to go only to Chelsea," continued the promising player. "There I will improve much faster and will be able to impress people."
