He told Sporty TV:
“There's two players which I watch a lot. No, let me see four players which I watch. If you come to my house on YouTube, you put my YouTube; you see four; I watch them even before games.
“So I watch Neymar number one. You know Ben Arfa, Robinho and Santi Carzola. It's weird. So as a striker, yeah, nobody will teach you when to finish.
“One touch to touch. But me, I try to learn.. like in those tight spaces. I tried to learn from those guys.”
