“It’s the most popular football club in England when you look at it from Germany. Also (Bastian) Schweinsteiger was there and although it was not his best time, he’s one of the biggest players we have ever had in Germany.

“I was watching his games and know it’s a big game and a big stadium. It will be a great experience for every player.

“I’m very excited and am looking forward to playing against the best players. That’s why I came to the Premier League, so I’m very happy about it.”
