"I had made up my mind about my future a few days before signing the contract with Napoli. We talked a lot, and ultimately I couldn't wait for all the paperwork to be finally sorted out. Sometimes contract signings can be complicated.

I felt that I had to come here. When I was younger, I probably would never have thought that I would come to play in Italy because I was in England, I liked it there, and I was very happy. Then I found myself in a situation where I had so many options from different corners of the world. I talked to my wife, kids, and family, and I felt that this was the best choice for me in every way. I made this decision based on my intuition. It's hard to explain in words," the Belgian is quoted by CalcioNapoli24.
