00:00The five days has been for me amazing. You know, I never knew what to expect.
00:07Of course, watching Besiktas from afar, you know, over the years on TV, it's so surreal, so special finally being here, wearing the kits, you know, seeing the fans and, you know, training with my teammates.
00:23It's been amazing so far. You know, we want to do well as a team and I'm sure, you know, with the new players coming in like myself and other players coming, we want to show the fans that, you know, this club is, we want to take this club back to where they belong and that's winning games and winning trophies.
00:41So it's been amazing five days and we just have to continue like this.
00:46I think when I was on holiday in the summer and I was in Bodrum, I said it right?
00:55Bodrum.
00:56Bodrum.
00:57And I remember I saw some fans who said, you know, come to Besiktas, come to Besiktas.
01:03And at first I laughed about it. You know, I've been to Turkey a few times and I've seen how beautiful it is.
01:11I've been to Istanbul also. So I knew it was a beautiful place and when I heard, you know, they wanted me, it wasn't a hard decision.
01:19I think I spoke to my wife and my family, my parents and my friends and they told me so many good things, you know, because my friends are crazy football fans.
01:29They watch football all around the world. So they told me so many good things.
01:33And I thought this was the perfect time in my life, in my career to, you know, come and experience Turkey and Istanbul and a great team like Besiktas.
01:42So it was an easy decision. I'm so happy I made it. It's been amazing so far.
01:47Now I just have to, you know, show the fans and show everyone what I'm truly made of.
01:52Oh, and also, sorry. And also, you know, I spoke to, of course, the coach Ole and a few players who have been here like Dele Alli, Batshuayi.
02:04And they all spoke very highly of, you know, Besiktas and Istanbul. And, you know, so I said, like I said, it was an easy decision.
02:12I'm very happy I'm here and I'm so ready to start.
