It's true that Tottenham tempted me because it was a young team which was third in the league.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always had confidence in my ability; I knew I'd get a chance coming here. That's one of the main reasons why I signed for Tottenham.
Out of all the clubs who were interested, I got the feeling that, deep down, Chelsea showed that they really wanted me. There were lots of reasons I came to Chelsea. They showed a real desire to get me to come here. I didn't have to think about it too much.
I didn't really think about going to another club; I wanted to be a Tottenham player and play at Tottenham.
I didn't want to go to Chelsea, because I wanted to play the Champions League and they were sixth in the league.
That first group of Manchester players allowed me to enjoy coaching at a very young age that motivated me to do it. If it wasn't good, I might have made a career change.
I love this club, and to be wearing number 10 for Tottenham is amazing for me. I could not resist.
MK has got a special place in my heart, but obviously, I have signed to Tottenham.
I think I had set-backs, but I still always had that belief that I was going to play for Tottenham Hotspur. Even when I went out on loan to clubs, it was always to come back and be a Spurs player.
At 21, Real Madrid or Barcelona would have been more difficult for me. If I play well enough at Chelsea, I could win my place in the starting team, and my priority is to play.
Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.
